What makes Circle of Security Parenting different is that the information is presented in a way that gives us parents a clear map of your child’s needs. But how you use the map is up to each individual. No techniques. No To-Do’s. Said plainly, COSP is not a list of techniques like Sticker charts, Swaddling, or rigid bedtimes. However, it is a map with a mirror, that asks you to reflect on your own self. What are you bringing to the table with your history growing up? Are there traumas there that affect how you parent? Of course, everyone has things that they wish were different about their childhood. Circle of Security Parenting allows us the wisdom to parent with reflection and growth – to move beyond being reactive parents.
