Circle of Security

The Circle of Security is a visual framework used to understand children's emotional needs and caregiver behaviors. It emphasizes the importance of providing a safe base for children to explore the world and the support they need when they feel overwhelmed. The "circle" represents the balance between offering security and encouraging independence. Caregivers are encouraged to watch over their child, respond to their needs, and recognize signals of distress, fostering a strong attachment. This approach helps promote healthy emotional development, resilience, and lasting relationships.
