Building Secure and Connected Relationships with Children

This is a 4-hour interactive workshop designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and mental health professionals. Drawing from Raising a Secure Child by Kent Hoffman, Glen Cooper, and Bert Powell, The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, and Attachment Theory by Thais Gibson, participants will explore the foundations of attachment theory, brain-based parenting strategies, and practical tools to nurture secure, resilient relationships.

Through engaging discussions, role-plays, and reflective exercises, participants will learn how to foster emotional connection, repair attachment ruptures, and support children’s emotional regulation and growth. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and a personalized plan to strengthen relationships and create a secure environment for children to thrive.
