Circle of Security Program

Circle of Security Program (COSP™)

The Circle of Security Program (COSP™) is designed for parents who want to strengthen their bond with their child and better understand their emotional needs.

Rooted in attachment theory, developed by psychiatrist John Bowlby and psychologist Mary Ainsworth, the program helps parents provide a secure foundation—essential for a child’s emotional well-being and social growth.

Research shows that the Circle of Security also supports children’s emotional and relational development, helping them feel safe, confident, and connected.
