Child Development

[close] reading and discussion of Montessori books

[close] Welcome to the judgment-free, guilt-light, evidence-heavy book club for moms and dads doing their best not to totally f*#% up their kids. We dive into parenting books written by actual experts—think psychologists, pediatricians, child development researchers, occupational therapists, and neuroscientists—not your fav influencers trying to sell you MLM essential oils or cure tantrums with moon water. If you've ever Googled "is my kid normal?" at 2 a.m. or bribed your toddler with reese's peanut butter cups to avoid a public meltdown, you're in the right place. Let’s read, laugh, and maybe cry a little—together.

[close] I'd like for us to read books that provide relevant data about how best to support our little people through life and how best to prepare them for their future!

[close] This is an intentional space to discuss foster care and parenting related books. We aim to connect members of our community together through discussion and reflection in hopes of furthering relationships, knowledge of best parenting practices, and the experience of youth in the child welfare system.
