About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Dry read but good info
I had a hard time listening to this for more than 5-10 minutes at a time because I feel it was so dry . The reader was very monotone but I don’t know what else she could have done to make it more interesting. The points in the book however make worthwhile. You just have to get over the boring parts like when they explain that they will explain more later. There’s a lot of unnecessary parts to make the book longer for some reason. You also need to get the image of the circles so you have a better idea of what they are talking about .

A must listen for anyone
This book sets the basis to attachment theory, how it affected your life as a kid and how it is affecting your parenting, while giving helpful and non paternalistic advice. I highly recommend to anyone, parent or not.

amazing book
I've practiced attachment parenting for the last 6 years, so a lot on the stuff in the book I have been practicing already. that being said I loved learning about the circle of security, shark music and core sensitivities. it helps me understand the areas where I need to be more mindful of how I react.
highly recommend all parents reading this book .

Such a great book
This book is stacked full of great information and stories to back up all of the work and research that the authors have been doing. It really opened my eyes to my core sensitivities and where I struggle on the circle with my children and of course other relationships in my life. This was the first time I read this book but I’m sure it won’t be the last. I’ve already told so many other parents about it!
I really loved it and am grateful to authors for sharing their work through this book.

Great information, synthetic and dry voice
Great information, dry synthetic computer voice. The voice is good for a computer, though it sounds obviously fake art times.
