Parenting Course
Parenting can be tough. But it’s so much easier when you have the tools to understand your children better. Build a strong bond with your children now, and it will benefit their lives long into the future (and yours too).
That’s where Choices comes in.
The Circle of Security Parenting Course
At times we all have anxiety about parenting: are we doing it right? Why are we making mistakes?
How do we respond well when our children have big feelings?
Can we prevent ourselves from parenting on autopilot – or stop ourselves from saying the same things our parents said?
Choices is offering the well-respected Circle of Security parenting course online, which will give you the tools to deal with all of these issues!
What is the Circle of Security Parenting Course?
Circle of Security is an eight session course that gives parents and caregivers space to reflect and meet others as we explore together how to support our children’s needs and help them to be securely attached to their care-givers.
Following decades of research into attachment theory, we know that children are likely to do better in life, in relationships and in relationship with family when they are securely attached - and there are some key things we need to know as care-givers to give them the best shot at that secure attachment.
What are the details?
The course is aimed at new parents and caregivers of babies and up to five years.
Choices’ trained practitioners will be running the Circle of Security Parenting Course both in person and online across three courses this year. There are eight sessions, typically run over 6-7 weeks for around 90 minutes per week.
The course costs Choices £150 per person to run. If you can cover the cost of your place, please do so by making a payment here. If this will be a challenge, however, please consider making a payment for what you can afford here. We do not want anyone to miss out on the basis of cost – so if this applies to you, please get in touch as we do have subsidised places.
Places are limited, so join our waiting list to hear more about the next course and signal your interest using the form below.
Choices gives you those tools – and the knowledge - to put strong foundations in place NOW so you can parent in a more positive way. This course gives you everything you need to build long-lasting connections that lead to long-term benefits in both yours and your children’s lives.
