“I completed the Circle of Security program just after having our second child. While going through the program I learned that my own childhood experiences were shaping the way I was parenting my children. The Circle of Security has given me the space to work through my own apprehensions as a parent and really allow my children to be children. I have gained the insight to be more present with my children, and support their natural desire to explore. I was given the tools to know when I really need to be ‘bigger, stronger, wiser and kind.’ We wish we had known about it earlier.” - Dana

“I took this class when my children were in their teens. It still made a world of difference, especially for that ‘one child’ I just didn’t always understand. It changed our relationship for the better. I will be forever grateful.” –Catie
