"The Circle of Security Parenting© DVD is an outstanding contribution and a "must see" for parents of young children. Focusing on how parent/child relationships can be strengthened, this unique approach teaches parents and those helping them new ways to understand children's needs and behavior. It also offers effective ways to respond to these needs and behaviors. I have found it invaluable in my own work with parents of young children."

"In piloting Circle of Security Parenting©, I watched parents integrate new insights rapidly and effortlessly. A new sense of understanding and confidence followed, allowing them to respond to their children in ways that were noticeably more secure."
