Davis Behavioral Health is providing an 8-Week Parenting Class at Taylor Elementary School and YOU are invited to join us.

Circle of Security Parenting is an 8-week program where parents/caregivers attend once a week for two hours and we provide free dinner and childcare. Parents/caregivers learn how they can support and strengthen the attachment they have with their kids. It focuses on how parents/caregivers can be a secure base for their child and teaches how they may be able to navigate the emotions that come up. The curriculum is geared towards kids who are 4 months to 6 years old, but we welcome parents/caregivers with kids of any age. 

Parents/caregivers will also learn the following: 

  • Learn to read their child's emotional needs 

  • Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions 

  • Enhance the development of their child's self-esteem 

  • Trust their innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure 

  • Increase their capacity to regulate stressful emotional states (the parents/caregivers and their child's) 

This will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-8:00 pm starting on September 3 through October 22 (excluding October 14 for Fall Recess).
