    About this audiobook

    Today's parents are constantly pressured to be perfect. But in striving to do everything right, we risk missing what children really need for lifelong emotional security. Now the simple, powerful "Circle of Security" parenting strategies that Kent Hoffman, Glen Cooper, and Bert Powell have taught thousands of families are available in self-help form for the first time.

    You will learn:

    - How to balance nurturing and protectiveness with promoting your child's independence.

    - What emotional needs a toddler or older child may be expressing through difficult behavior.

    - How your own upbringing affects your parenting style-and what you can do about it.

    Filled with vivid stories and unique practical tools, this book puts the keys to healthy attachment within everyone's reach-self-understanding, flexibility, and the willingness to make and learn from mistakes.

      This book has changed my life as a parent. I'm beyond words at how well they explain where we go wrong as parents and the most important skills we can develop to give our children the lives they deserve. As someone who has struggled with an attachment disorder my entire life, I know the words in this book to be true. As most of it is what I lacked in my upbringing and want to give my children so much more. Thanks to the authors for sharing their findings, most backed by science, to help create a better world for our future.

      I’m astounded at how brilliant this book/audiobook is. It’s like a complete workshop on how to shift your perspective right into your baby/child’s mind. You see things from their view, understand the importance of communication and respect, and how to love and support them unconditionally in a way that promotes their freedom, confidence, connection and wellbeing. All parents would benefit from listening to this! Love it.

      I’ve never heard of this book before but it articulates everything I feel to be true.

      I wish I read this book BEFORE my child has been born...
      Once you have passed through this book, you would have gained more self-awareness and A LOT MORE knowledge on HOW to react (especially) in tense situations.
      The only disadvantage of the book is that it insists on too many examples... but only to make a clear point.
      If you are a parent, or becoming one, read this!

      The simplest concepts are not the easiest to master. This book is a terrific guide to integrating how we were parented as children and then establishing a base for which we can reflect on how to parent differently and how to mimic what worked in our family of origin. The concept of 'being with' your child and 'taking charge' by being 'bigger, stronger, wiser and kind' may seem simple, but the book backs up this approach with good evidenced based psychology largely from John Bowlby's ideas. Granted, the book may not tackle parenting through a trauma informed lens; but, that matters little because the Circle paradigm does nothing to limit such an approach either. Reviewers criticizing the book for being too repetitive may have missed the boat. More is often not better when it comes to developing interventions. I personally feel the book is promoting mastery of a kind that must be practiced! The book doesn't give you endless teacher tips per se-but instead suggests we the reader reflect on our unique reality and then apply this tool to see what happens. As a social worker I will continue to recommend this material to my clients.
