Introduction to the Circle of Security
Learn the simple yet powerful framework that helps you understand what your child needs. This foundational video explains how tuning into your child's needs on the Circle creates lasting security for them and greater confidence for you. Remember: Good Enough parenting is enough - you don't need to be perfect to build a security.
Connection
Every parent has asked these familiar questions: "How can I stop my child from behaving like this?" or "What's wrong with my child?" But what if the real breakthrough comes from asking different questions entirely?
This insightful video explores how reframing our approach to children's behavior can create lasting change in our families. Instead of focusing on managing or controlling behavior, learn to see your child's actions as communication—a bid for the emotional connection they desperately need.
Being With and Shark Music
This video introduces "Shark Music" - how our own childhood experiences create an invisible soundtrack that influences our reactions to our children's feelings. The good news? Simply recognizing your "Shark Music" helps you respond to your child's actual needs rather than reacting from your own history.
Welcome to Circle of Security Parenting
This introductory video explains how Circle of Security Parenting (COSP)offers a relationship-based approach to understanding your child's needs. COSP helps you shift from asking "What's wrong with my child?" to "What does my child need?" Learn how your child is actually born an expert on the Circle of Security, and how this simple roadmap can help you read their behavior as communication of deeper needs. Based on decades of attachment research, this approach helps you respond with confidence when your child needs support for exploring, comfort for reconnecting, or gentle guidance.
