  Dr. Ross W. Greene’s ground-breaking book, "The Explosive Child," has become a model for helping families to overcome their child's challenging behavior. Join Karla Fitch, MTSC, of Connecting for Kids, for this six-week, peer-led book club that begins with an in-person session and then meets virtually to explore the book together. Each week, we'll discuss different sections of the book and support each other as we learn to use collaborative and proactive problem-solving with our children.
