Support for Parents:
Build secure attachment & connection with your child!
Circle of Security Parenting™ (COSP) is a relationship-based parenting program developed from decades of attachment research. It uses a visual map to help you better understand your child’s behaviour and emotional needs. Delivered by experienced paediatric OTs, the course is suitable for parents and carers of children of all ages and welcomes neurodivergent families.
You will learn how to:
Recognise and respond to your child’s cues.
Support your child to explore with confidence and return for connection.
Understand your own parenting style and emotional triggers (“shark music”).
Build a secure attachment with your child that fosters lifelong wellbeing.
