Our friends at Circle of Security International created a graphic for caregivers and children whose world is turned upside down by natural disasters. And the principles can apply to any kind of traumatic event!

At these times, families and communities are challenged by the sense of instability and loss of safety in their world. Caregivers may feel overwhelmed and confused, potentially helpless and fearful. In this state, it is difficult to support our children and to find ways to be Bigger, Stronger, Wiser, and Kind.

Attachment research fully supports how valuable caregivers are in times of crisis or prolonged stress—even when those caregivers are unsure of their own usefulness and value. Part of the reason parents have found the Circle of Security to be a valuable resource is the simple clarity it provides for tracking children’s needs and for offering guidance as to our role as parents, caregivers, and teachers.

This graphic was designed to offer parents and professionals direction and clarity about how essential caregivers are to children during times of crisis. The goal is to give caregivers a sense of clear direction and sound encouragement in offering themselves as a valuable resource.

Friday Night is a great transition time to unwind from the week and refill your cup by doing something that will provide restoration and rejuvenation for the weekend. I’m looking forward to finishing up reading my bell hooks book, drinking some ginger tea 🍵(Doing that now😊)and catching up on Yellowstone.

What’s your favorite way to unwind from the week?
