There is no such thing as a perfect parent. So just go ahead and be a real one.

The Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P) is an early attachment based intervention that can be delivered with groups, dyads, and individuals. COS-P is a way of thinking about emotion and behaviour that enables us to look beyond a child's immediate behaviour and think about how to meet their genuine relational and attachment needs. 

Attachment
Attachment problems in infancy/early childhood increase the probability of psychopathology later in life.

Security
Secure attachment relationships with caregivers are a protective factor for infants and preschoolers, setting the foundation for social competence and promoting effective functioning of the emotion regulation and stress response systems.

Quality

The quality of the attachment relationship is amenable to change.

Learning

Learning, including therapeutic change, occurs from within a secure base relationship.

Lasting Change
Lasting change in the attachment relationship comes from caregivers’ developing specific relationship capacities rather than learning techniques to manage behaviour.

Unconditional
All caregivers want what is best for their children.
