Parenting program offered at SLE

SEELEY LAKE – At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what their children might need. Imagine if you could make sense of what your child was really asking from you.

Stephen Marten, COS-P facilitator and LCPC candidate and Bekah Cahoon, BIS, graduate student in counseling will be presenting an eight-week Circle of Security® Parenting™ program at Seeley Lake Elementary starting the first week of October. While the program is directed mainly at caregivers of children up to 12 years old, the principles apply to all ages and anyone can benefit from the training.

The Circle of Security® Parenting™program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationship can be supported and strengthened. Learning objectives of the training include:

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read their emotional needs.

• Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions.

• Enhance the development of your child’s self esteem.

• Honor your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure.

Classes will be held at Seeley Lake Elementary from Oct. 2 – Nov. 28 with a break during the week of Thanksgiving. The men’s group will meet Tuesday evenings from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. The women’s group will meet Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The classes and child care are available for no cost.

To register call Suzie Teafoe at 406-677-2265. Group size is limited.

The Circle of Security® Parenting™ Series is sponsored by the Seeley Lake Community Foundation and Seeley Lake Elementary School. For more information about the series visit https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/
