Therapeutic PACE Parenting

PACE Developed by Dr Dan Hughes within Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), PACE is a relational approach that helps children who have experienced trauma to feel emotionally safe and to build secure relationships. PACE is far more than a parenting technique. It is a relational way of being with children who have experienced trauma, loss, rejection, fear and disrupted attachment. This is not DDP but an introduction to the PACE model of being PACE is often misunderstood. Some parents and carers worry that it means letting children "get away with things", being too soft, avoiding boundaries, or never saying no. PACE is none of those things.
