Nothing is more important than the attachment relationship.

Emeritus Professor L.Alan Sroufe

(Alan is an internationally recognized expert on early attachment relationships, emotional development, and developmental psychopathology. He has published seven books and 140 articles and is considered a giant in the field of attachment research. He’s co founder of The Minnesota Study of Risk and Adaptation from Birth Through Adulthood, a multigenerational study of attachment started in the 1970’s and now working with the third generation.)

We all want to give our children the best start in life … and the best start in life starts with you! Research shows that a child’s loving and responsive relationship with their parents is more effective and important than anything else you can buy, do with them, or organize for them.

There’s a mountain of information out there about Attachment Parenting, and as it so often happens, when a complex idea becomes widely spread there are some misunderstandings and mistakes.

There is no formula for raising a securely attached child. It’s about knowing yourself, understanding your own history and being sensitively attuned to the infant you have in front of you.

Which is not as easy or as uncomplicated as it sounds.

So if you’re pregnant, thinking about starting a family and curious about attachment parenting, or simply want to hear the latest research about secure attachment, this is a two hour must-do.  We take you through the complexities of attachment theory and why secure attachment is so vitally important throughout life.

Get a comprehensible overview of the neuroscience behind it and how our own experience of being parented gets into the mix.

Identify your own strengths and weaknesses and how you might address them. All this explained in small interactive groups in easy to understand language with warmth and humour.

Parenting is work which requires skills, and skills need training.                          

This seminar will explain and give you what dozens of parenting books will not.

Solutions and support. Informed by science. Motivated by love.
