SUMMARY:Book Club - Differently Wired by Debbie Reber
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book club discussing the book: Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World by Debbie Reber\nTuesday\, July 9th\, 2019 from 7:30pm to 9:00 pm \nOffices of Guiding Exceptional Parents\, Riverdale Park\, MD (map it) \nREGISTRATION IS CLOSED – We are filled to capacity! \nSpecial Guest: Debbie Reber will be joining us by video! \nBook summary: \nToday millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn’t respect\, support\, or embrace who they really are—these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids\, the one in five children with ADHD\, dyslexia\, Asperger’s\, giftedness\, anxiety\, sensory processing disorder\, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them\, the challenges are just as hard—struggling to find the right school\, the right therapist\, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what’s normal\, what’s not\, and how to handle it all. \nBut now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber\, a bestselling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD\, Asperger’s\, and is highly gifted)\, Differently Wired is a how-to\, a manifesto\, a book of wise advice\, and the best kind of been-there\, done-that companion. (summary from amazon)

SUMMARY:Book Club: Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book club discussing the book: Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky\nMonday April 22nd\, 2019 from 7:30pm to 9:00 pm \nOffices of Better Together Family Therapy\, Kensington MD (map it) \nGo here to register!\nBook summary: \nWhy do we do the things we do? More than a decade in the making\, this game-changing book is Robert Sapolsky’s genre-shattering attempt to answer that question as fully as perhaps only he could\, looking at it from every angle. Sapolsky’s storytelling concept is delightful\, but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person’s reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs and then hops back in time from there in stages\, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.
