More confident in their explorations of the world
Better able to deal with challenging circumstances
More independent and persistent problem solvers
More willing to ask for help
More willing to seek comfort when frustrated
Require less guidance and discipline
Less likely to be bullied
Less likely to bully
Securely attached children, all of the research shows;
Have a better sense of themselves
Better memories
More positive feelings about friendship
A more developed sense of morality
We know a secure relationship is the most effective foundation for parenting- there is less stress and conflict. It is never too late to repair the relationship with our children and this program will guide you through, step by step.
The Raising A Secure Child program is a mixed delivery program that is 6 months long. It will include emails to your inbox every day, videos to help you understand the concepts of developmental psychology necessary in raising a secure child and weekly lessons with concrete learning exercises to help you put theory into practice.
The program will also include an in person class in May where we will spend 4 hours putting together key segments of the learning program to explore ways to deepen the secure attachment with your child- no matter their age.
The program is appropriate for parents with children of all ages and will be a 2-3 hour investment a week on your part. Through a secret Facebook group we will have live Facebook interactive videos for you to participate in and ask questions. These videos will run once a week in addition to the daily inbox education that you receive.
You will also receive a curriculum to compile by printing out on your own the lessons. There will be lessons to do with your family to use as "Secure Guideposts" in your parenting journey.
The program will cover:
Serve and Return
How our parenting lens determines our child's attachment with us
Our lived experience as a child and how that shaped our attachment style
The best way to appeal to your child's brain
Boundaries
How to deactivate our triggers
Responsive nervous system regulation vs. reactive nervous system regulation
Rupturing and healing the relationship
Giving yourself what you never got
How to improve communication with your child (which will benefit all of your relationships!)
Anxiety in children and how to help with it
Defiance, opposition and not listening- and what they mean
When you feel like a referee
Tantrums and decoding them AND MUCH MORE!
Each family will also receive Skype coaching one on one once a month for the duration of the program.
The cost of the program is $350 for the six months- a fraction of the price of our regular coaching programs.
Some insurance companies may provide renumeration for the program- check with your provider.
Space is limited in the program.
