Circle of Security 8-Week In-Person Parenting Program

Mackillop Family Services and Moonee Valley City Council are running a 8- Week Circle of Security Parenting Program in Term 3, 2026.

At times we can all feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting Program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

What you will learn over the 8-week course:

· To understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs

· To support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions

· To enhance the development of your child's self-esteem

· To honour your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure
