For Parents of 6 to 14-year-olds with anxiety and/or behavioural concerns who are struggling to parent confidently, this is an 8-week virtual video-based group. There will be discussion, opportunities for parent reflection, and time for questions. You will receive a hard copy booklet with relevant handouts.

Decades of psychological research show that a secure attachment in the parent-child relationship predicts all sorts of positive outcomes for youth (e.g., better emotion regulation, higher self-esteem, improved problem-solving skills, more enjoyment in close relationships just to name a few) Though we all want to have secure relationships with our kids, many of us feel unsure about exactly what our children need from us and feel “shaky” about how best to respond to them, especially in times of emotional distress. COSP provides a clear roadmap for identifying and understanding our child or teen’s emotional needs. Our goal is to then equip parents to confidently respond to these needs in skillful ways that promote security.
