Circle of Security Parenting Programme

An invitation for expressions of interest to attend an 8 week Circle of Security Parenting Programme at the Playhouse in Term 1 2017. It will run on an evening T B C. There will be a discount for Members of Hohnes Road Playhouse.

The Circle of Security is a relationship based early intervention programme designed to enhance attachment security between parents and children.

Decades of university-based research have confirmed that secure children exhibit increased empathy, greater self-esteem, better relationships with parents and peers, enhanced school readiness, and an increased capacity to handle emotions more effectively when compared with children who are not secure.

Being-With is, in many ways, at the heartbeat of our Circle of Security approach. It’s such a simple concept: the need every child has for caregivers (parents, teachers, etc.) to recognise and honour feelings by staying with core feelings rather than denying their importance.

At the centre of this Being-With approach is decades of research that make it clear that we learn to manage feelings (ex. – anger, sadness, fear, joy, shame, and curiosity) by experiencing the sponsorship of a person who is with us in the feeling rather than staying outside the feeling and focusing only on our behaviour.
Surprising to many is the research that shows how a 2 year old who has been raised in a context of Being-With are actually less demanding, throw fewer tantrums, and are more responsive to their parents requests than children who’ve been raised without this approach.
