Circle of Security Parenting

Facilitated by Larissa Lagerewskij, Clinical Psychologist

The Circle of Security parenting approach recognises the importance of connection.

“Intimate attachments …… are the hub around which a person’s life revolves….” John Bowlby

It is a relationship based parenting program that shows the way to secure attachment by focusing on children’s needs (and caregiver’s mind) rather than children’s behaviours.

50 years of research shows that secure children are able to:

Enjoy more happiness with their parents
Feel less anger at their parents
Turn to their parents for help when in trouble
Solve problems on their own
Get along better with friends
Have lasting friendships
Solve problems with friends

Have better relationships with brothers and sisters
Have higher selfesteem
Know that most problems will have an answer
Trust that good things will come their way
Trust people they love
Know how to be kind to those around them
