Jane is a COS Parenting Facilitator. The Circle of Security Parenting program is based on 50 years research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened, and how this type of early intervention can affect outcomes for the child across the lifespan.  COS-P is primarily designed for caregivers of children who are four months of age through six years. 

The three main concepts are;

  • an understanding that children need to go out to explore the world 

  • that children need to come in to their caregivers regularly for comfort especially if they are hurt or frightened

  • that caregivers need to provide a secure base for the children in their care. They can do this by being BIGGER, STRONGER, WISER, KIND.
