To support a child's ability to self-regulate, we must first explore ourselves. 

​

Attachment Theory is currently the most research supported theory of human development we have, which explores the nature of our most primary human relationships. It helps us understand why we behave how we do, and how to support our children to develop into adults who are well in their bodies and mind, in their relationships and overall life. Secure parent-child relationships start with a parent who can self-reflect and self-regulate; responsive and sensitive to their child’s experience while also attuning to their own. Through co-regulation with an attuned parent a child can work through their experiences with the support of their parents nervous system, and both feel more connected from doing so.

My hope is that this group supports you to understand your own story better. To support you showing up in the world connected to your whole self, and your children. While we all share the journey of figuring out parenting in this modern world, our individual circumstances and backgrounds are all so intimately different. This group is designed to provide support for you to uncover personalised solutions to your situations.
