Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.
When: Tuesdays
Time: 6:00-7:00 pm

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!
