Care and Connection Parent Group (Term 4)

Please be aware that this is a parent/caregiver only workshop. This block is for parents of children 12-17 years of age. The workshop will run for 8 weeks starting in week 2 of term and finishing in week 9. (Dates below)

Caregiving/ parenting is the hardest and most important role in the world. There is no manual on how to do this job and we want you to know that it feels hard because it is hard and you are not doing anything wrong. We want to celebrate that good enough is simply that- good enough!

Through this group at Calm and Connected we aim to create a safe space to:

• Empower caregivers to feel confident in supporting their children.
• Provide caregivers with a framework to understand their own nervous system, permission to be a person and to feel all the emotions that come with caregiving and explore different self-regulating strategies.
• Refining capacity to meet the need of your little people to create safety for you and your little people.
• Meet like minded caregivers to problem solve and share ideas.

What is Circles of Security?

A path to ‘Good Enough Parenting’. The Circles of Security is an evidence based research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened by:

• Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs
• Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
• Enhance the development of their child’s self esteem
• Honour the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure
