What to Expect
This engaging program is designed specifically for fathers and male primary carers who want to deepen their understanding of their child's emotional world. You'll learn to recognize and respond to your child's emotional needs, support their emotional regulation, and build their self-esteem in a nurturing environment.
The Circle of Security approach is evidence-based and focuses on creating secure attachments that promote better health, stronger relationships, and greater success for children in their education and life.
Throughout the sessions, you will be encouraged to honor your inner wisdom and your natural desire to make your child feel safe and secure, fostering a stronger parent-child bond.
