We are hosting a Parent Book Club – Reduce Power Struggles & Gain Practical Strategies
|
Hi all! Rebekah here! Amber just sent me her flyer for her new book club and it looks amazing, so I decided to pass it along to all of you! It would be awesome if a group of us could come together to join her for this! Here are the details: Many kids struggle with frustration, inflexibility, and emotional outbursts—not because they want to be difficult, but because they don’t yet have the skills to handle frustration, communicate needs, or problem-solve effectively. We are hosting a 6-week Parent Book Club focused on Ross Greene's book, The Explosive Child. It will be a safe, nurturing space for a number of us to come together to learn concepts and discuss them. We will get expert guidance from Amber Kanallakan, MA, Marriage and Family Therapist, plus a supportive space to learn alongside other parents navigating similar challenges. 📖 Join us and learn: When kids are struggling, it’s not about motivation—it’s about missing skills. This group will help you feel more confident, more connected, and more prepared to support both your child and yourself. 📆 6 Weeks | Tuesdays at 12 PM (PT) | April 8 - May 13
Thanks for being part of our community! --Rebekah |
