Hong Kong Developmental Paediatrics and Child Neurology Centre
Circle of Security® Parenting™ Program (COS-P)
At times, all parents feel lost, confused, or clueless about what our child may need from us. As a parent, we always wished our child came with a manual. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you.
When parents face a young kid being afraid of leaving them to explore the environment, or a teenager who has challenging behaviours at school, we may not be aware that the early-year relationship with our child is one of the crucial factors. Secure attachment is important to children, especially in younger years. When a child has formed a secure attachment with parents, their confidence increases, and they become more willing to explore the environment.
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. It is a video-based intervention that strengthens parents’ abilities to observe and improve caregiving skills.
Using the Circle of Security® Parenting™ model developed by the Circle of Security originators, Dr. Fanny Lam works with parents, care-givers, educators and medical professionals to help them to:
-
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
-
Honor the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure
