Two spots remaining in our next Circle of Security Parenting course. An international course that requires to be trained and certified to be able to facilitate it.

Six to eight week course, 1.5 hours per sessions, it does require committing to all the sessions and being able to focus w wihout children's interruption. It is meant to explore how can we become better parents, understand and respond to our children's needs, building secure attachments. It also explores how we ourselves were parented and how this impacts our parenting, and in this sense can be a bit triggering for some of us.

Best for parents of tamariki ages 4 months to 6 years, but any parent can benefit.
The usual cost for the course is 400-800 dollars, but thanks to the Wright Foundation we can offer it for a koha of 50 dollars.

The next course is starting Monday 7th March and will run for 6 Mondays from 715 to 845 PM, virtually. Up to 8 participants only.

If you are keen, in this one or in a future one, please email us at lioranoy3@gmail.com
