Online Book Study Fall 2019
Rest Play Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers
by Deborah MacNamara
 
Please join us for this online event which is back by popular demand. You will have the opportunity to read Dr. MacNamara’s book which is a thorough overview of the characteristics of these youngsters, including what the neuroscientific research is finding. She does a wonderful job of shedding light on why they behave as they do and then provides clarity as to the role of the adults who are involved in their care. We look forward to “seeing” you online in the fall!
