Today's parents are constantly pressured to be perfect. But in
striving to do everything right, we risk missing what children
really need for lifelong emotional security. Now the simple,
powerful "Circle of Security" parenting strategies that Kent
Hoffman, Glen Cooper, and Bert Powell have taught thousands of
families are available in self-help form for the first time. You
will learn: *How to balance nurturing and protectiveness with
promoting your child's independence. *What emotional needs a
toddler or older child may be expressing through difficult
behavior. *How your own upbringing affects your parenting
style--and what you can do about it. Filled with vivid stories and
unique practical tools, this book puts the keys to healthy
attachment within everyone's reach--self-understanding,
flexibility, and the willingness to make and learn from mistakes.
Self-assessment checklists can be downloaded and printed for ease
of use.
Presenting both a theoretical foundation and proven strategies for
helping caregivers become more attuned and responsive to their
young children's emotional needs (ages 0-5), this is the first
comprehensive presentation of the Circle of Security (COS)
intervention. The book lucidly explains the conceptual
underpinnings of COS and demonstrates the innovative
attachment-based assessment and intervention strategies in rich
clinical detail, including three chapter-length case examples.
Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a
convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. COS is an effective research-based
program that has been implemented throughout the world with
children and parents experiencing attachment difficulties. The
authors are corecipients of the 2013 Bowlby-Ainsworth Award,
presented by the New York Attachment Consortium, for developing and
implementing COS. See also the authors' related parent guide:

"Every child's way of being can open doors to wisdom, compassion,
and human connection. We need only to listen." This is among the
conclusions that the authors, one of whom is an experienced foster
parent and the other a professor of developmental psychology, draw
as a result of working with a diverse range of children and
families. Inspired by their relationships with families in crisis,
the authors began to rethink the traditional foster care models and
developed an innovative practice that afforded birth parents the
opportunity to reside, under supervision, with their children
during evaluation and treatment. Drawing on over 20 years of work
in foster care, along with current attachment research and theory,
this book conveys the foster care experience with recommendations
for improved models of care and intervention strategies. Engaging
case studies depict the challenging nature of determining the best
outcome for a child and of supporting the adult's journey as a
parent. Written in a narrative style and supported by in-depth
research, this book will aid social workers and foster care
professionals to better understand families in crisis and to
further develop their practice.
