Course Objectives
Healthy parental attachment relationships support the well-being and positive adjustment of children and adolescents to challenges in growing up. There is joy as well as stress in parenting. The experiences are kept as memories in our body and mind and subsequently affect the quality of our parenting. By listening to our body, we can locate where stress is stored and is affecting our overall functioning. By learning how to facilitate our body to self-regulate, we unlock the wisdom of our body to release from stress and to find ways for optimal functioning of attachment.

-
To understand how the quality of attachment impacts the development and well-being of their children.
