Parenting Support

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about 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™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

What is Circle of Security Parenting™ model?

Circle of Security Parenting™ is a reflective program designed as a road map for parents and caregivers to understand attachment theory and implement intervention strategies.

Circle of Security Co-Founders

Kent Hoffman, Glen Cooper, and Bert Powell of Spokane, WA have spent more than 30 years simplifying complex research into a more accessible format for parents and caregivers. They have collaborated in their research in attachment theory to develop the Circle of Security. They have each earned the Governor’s Award for Innovation in Prevention along with the Bowlby-Ainsworth Award, presented by the New York Attachment Consortium.

Over the course of 8 weeks, we will enter into meaningful and engaging discussions as we watch real-life videos showing the complexity of parent-child relationships.

We will start each session with "Circle Stories" in which you reflect on the material from the previous week and watch it play out in your own life. As the weeks progress, we will add more to our circle road-map. Soon, you will be able to see the circle play out in your own life in everyday interactions with your child(ren).
