SUMMARY:Circle of Security - Free parenting course
DESCRIPTION:Held at Kyabra – 37 Kyabra Street\, Runcorn Qld. Register now to book your place – call Reception 3373 9499. \n\n\n\n\n\nCircle of Security for Parents – a safe place to explore your parenting! \n\n\n\n\nA face to face 7 week group held at 37 Kyabra Street\, Runcorn 10:00am to 12:30pm every Tuesday starting from 20th October to 1st December 2026.\n\n\n\nWe know that behind every one of our behaviours\, there is a need. Sometimes parents find it hard to identify the needs of their children and view their child’s behaviour as ‘attention seeking’ and bad behaviour. This view can often escalate our child’s frustration; their need to connect with us and get support is misunderstood leaving the child feeling sad\, angry and misunderstood.\n\n\n\nThe group focuses on your child’s attachment needs and helps you to identify that your child has a need. A child’s need sometimes cannot be satisfied; however\, you will learn how to recognise that there is a need and support a child in their sadness overwhelm\, and frustration\, helping them co-regulate and calm when they cannot get their need met.\n\n\n\nCOS is a relational approach\, not a behaviour management approach. Behaviours will naturally change with this approach as relationships and safe attachment strengthen.\n\n\n\nYou will learn to identify the cues your children give when they are feeling insecure or overwhelmed and need a parent/carer to step in and offer support.\n\n\n\nYou will learn to identify the cues your children give when they are feeling secure\, safe and happy and want you to share and delight in them.\n\n\n\nYou will also have the opportunity to consider your own attachment style\, developed during childhood and the impact that this may be having on your current parenting.\n\n\n\nThe group will be facilitated by a Registered Circle of Security Trainer
