COSP at National

Smart Start Conference

PCC member and Circle of Security® trainer, Susanne Walker Wilson, with her colleague Turkessa Baten, have been selected to present their workshop, Reflection is a Parenting Superpower: Circle of Security Parenting™(COSP), at the National Smart Start Conference in Greensboro, May 6-9! This Smart Start Conference is the nation’s largest conference dedicated to early education systems and strategies. COSP espouses attachment theory and the importance of reflection as a path to change and choice – a parenting superpower. The presentation will demonstrate the efficacy of adult reflective capacity especially amidst oppressive life circumstances. Susanne Walker Wilson is part of a 5 person, PCC-supported team that created and steers Circle Together, a statewide collaborative committed to bringing Circle of Security programs to early childhood organizations and systems across North Carolina.
