Circle of Security© (COS-P) is a relationship–based parenting program that is based on over five decades of research. Circle of Security© encourages parents to better understand and meet their child’s emotional needs. Children who experience healthy and enriching caregiving are more likely to be empathetic, to regulate their emotions, and develop positive relationship skills to improve self-esteem and school readiness.

- Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs
- Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
