Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.
When: Tuesdays

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!
Skills Development
Skill Development at Children's Therapy Network supports children in their natural environment with the attainment, or carryover, of skills necessary for success in the home and community such as:
-
regulation and frustration tolerance
-
following routines
-
social engagement
-
problem solving task completion
-
effective communication of needs and adaptations
-
attention and focus for task completion
Skill Development services can focus on a wide range of skills with a child in their natural environments, including home, community and school (If approved by the school).
At Children's Therapy Network, we strive to offer a seamless approach for our skill development clients through the integration of occupational therapy, parent coaching and mental health services that the client may be receiving in the clinic setting with the goals and activities that are the focus of skill development services provided in the home and/or community. We do this through weekly clinical teaming as well as in-depth training on therapeutic concepts to help the skill builder facilitate integration of these concepts into the activities and community integration provided during sessions.
What does Skill Development look like?
Skill Developers provide a collaborative approach with individuals to identify goals (see framework below) and build skills at the client’s pace. With a play-based model, skill developers create a relational foundation based on client needs and self-identified cues of felt safety. Once a foundation of engagement is established, skill developers support individuals in self-advocacy and other identified goals to improve communication within the home, school, and community.
