At times, all parents feel lost or without a clue as to what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ programme is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. This course is for parents of adopted children aged 0 to 8 years.
The Circle of Security Parenting Programme is an evidence based parenting programme, offered especially to adoptive parents by Barnardos Post Adoption Service. This free course is run over eight sessions and is designed to strengthen and enrich parent/child relationships. The group is limited to 8 adoptive parents and couples must register separately. This specific Circle of Security course is for parents of young adopted children age 0-8.
