A healthy parenting dynamic is within reach. It's never too late.
You already know the bad news. The exhaustion. The crying and screaming. The fights. The fear that you’re letting them down. The feeling that if they’d just listen to you everything would be better - but they won’t. Parenting is a brutal experience. You’re responsible for the life of another human - who is born utterly helpless. The stakes couldn’t be higher. And on top of that, you have to manage your own health, your relationships, your career, and society’s pressures to succeed - whatever that means. Parenting is a brutal experience even under the best of circumstances. But you know all that.
You probably don’t know the good news - that it doesn’t have to be as hard as you’re making it. You can change the way you do things. You can learn techniques that will make your life easier - and improve the emotional and behavioral outcomes for your child. You don’t have to be perfect. In fact, the research tells us that, in order to raise a healthy secure child, you only need to get it “right” about 30% of the time.
In short, what I’m talking about is Circle of Security Parenting (COSP). You can learn more about it here: https://circleofsecurityinternational.com and you can read the book here: https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/books
COSP is the nuts and bolts of Attachment Theory, which is the study of how human beings interact and grow into healthy, or not so healthy, adults.
