[RP TownTalk] Announcing book club meetings for exceptional parents!

[Sarah Wayland]

Announcing new Book Club series!

https://www.guidingexceptionalparents.com

In response to your requests for more opportunities to connect with your
fellow parents, I am excited to announce a new offering for my families -
quarterly book club discussion groups! Jeanne Schindler has graciously
offered to host our meetings at her home in Hyattsville, Maryland. Read
below for the schedule and for information on the books we will be
discussing.

I've also finalized my fall offering for my parenting class which will be
held in Annapolis. If you haven't been able to attend previous offerings of
the Parent Child Journey (https://www.parentchildjourney.com) class
(formerly known as Raising Your Challenging Child), next fall is your
opportunity.

I would love to see you and, as always, I'd be grateful if you could help
spread the word.

** BOOK CLUB! **
------------------------------------------------------------

Have you taken one of my classes, and miss sharing experiences with other
parents? Do you want to meet other parents who understand your world? In
response to your requests for more community, I'm offering quarterly book
club meetings as a chance to connect (and reconnect!) with other parents
while exploring a range of topics related to raising children.

Come to the book club ready to discuss what you learned while reading the
book selected for that session - what you liked, what was useful, and what
didn't make sense. The book club meetings will be highly interactive with
lots of discussion.

Jeanne Schindler has graciously offered to host these book clubs at her
home in Hyattsville Maryland. It will help us plan if you let us know you
are coming. Once you complete your registration, I will send the address
and phone number.

Meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.

Cost: Pay what you can: $10 - $20 per meeting.

** FALL PARENTING CLASS **
------------------------------------------------------------

PARENT CHILD JOURNEY
Dr. Dan Shapiro's parenting class for caregivers with challenging kids
Led by Sarah C. Wayland, Ph.D.

The Parent Child Journey (http://parentchildjourney.com)  program (formerly
called Raising Your Challenging Child) was created by Dr. Dan Shapiro to
help caregivers identify the source of their child’s challenging behavior
and learn what they can do about it. During each session, we will discuss
proactive strategies for raising children with difficult temperaments and
developmental differences. The emphasis is on customizing the strategy to
fit each child’s unique profile. Different children. Different approaches.

Learn about Dr. Shapiro's classes at http://www.parentchildjourney.com/.

**  It's summer! Time for a vacation metaphor on the blog **
** Kayaking Through Life: Supporting Kids With Challenges **
------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of summers ago, our family went on vacation, and I took my sons
kayaking at Assateague State Park. It didn't go as planned, in part because
my kids respond in different ways to being challenged. This story is about
how those responses helped me understand my parenting.
