SUMMARY:The Dysregulated Kid: Author Talk with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge\, to discuss the release of her new book\, The Dysregulated Kid. This program is part of the “Take Back Your Time” series. \nCalm the brain first―and everything else follows. \n“Why does my child lose it over the smallest things?”\n“Why don’t rewards or consequences work?”\n“Why do I feel like I’m failing when I’m trying so hard?” \nIf these questions sound familiar\, you’re not alone―and you’re not failing. You’re just missing the one step no one ever taught you: how to calm the nervous system first. \nWith more than thirty years of experience as a therapist and school psychologist\, and as a mom who lived this struggle herself\, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge discovered that kids don’t need fixing―they need nervous system regulation. The solution isn’t stricter discipline\, more rewards\, or better routines. It’s a proven\, science-backed method called Regulation First Parenting™\, and it changes everything. \nIn The Dysregulated Kid\, you’ll learn how to: \n– Break free from the exhausting cycle of yelling\, bribing\, and punishing.\n– Move from co-dysregulation to co-regulation\, where calm is contagious.\n– Shift from constant reactivity to confident\, steady parenting.\n– Use small\, doable strategies that rewire both your child’s brain and your own.\n– Help your child be more focused\, independent\, and resilient so they can do better in school and in life. \nThis book isn’t another parenting trend―it’s the playbook for finally helping your child (and yourself) find calm in a chaotic world. With real-life tools\, neuroscience explained in plain language\, and hope on every page\, Dr. Roseann shows you how to stop fighting with your child and start connecting. \nMeltdowns and battles to get your child to listen don’t have to define your days. Confidence\, connection\, and calmer moments are possible―and it all begins when you learn to calm the brain first. \nThe Dysregulated Kid is the guide every parent wishes they had sooner. \nDr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a licensed therapist\, certified school psychologist\, bestselling author\, award-winning podcast host\, and mom—with over 30 years of experience helping dysregulated kids and their families.  She is the host of the Dysregulated Kids podcast\, with over 2 million downloads\, where parents and professionals turn for clear\, nervous-system–based answers to today’s biggest emotional and behavioral challenges.  Through decades of clinical work—and lived experience—Dr. Roseann discovered a truth most parenting advice misses: when we calm the nervous system first\, everything changes—behavior\, learning\, and emotional health.  The Dysregulated Kid brings this science-backed approach to parents in a way that is compassionate\, practical\, and doable\, even in the middle of real-life stress.  Featured on NBC\, CBS\, and FOX—and named “the thought leader in children’s mental health” by Forbes—Dr. Roseann bridges brain science with real-world strategies parents can use every day.  Learn more here

SUMMARY:Reconnect: Michael Shelby and Paul Teager Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Avon Education Foundation\nAdult caregiver author talk event held at same time as Teen New Hobby Night in Teen Room. \nAdult caregivers will attend an author talk from both Michael Shelby and Paul Teager as they discuss their book Reconnect: A personalized plan to protect your child from anxiety and depression fueled by digital addiction\, and the strategies within it. \nIn today’s fast-paced digital world\, few issues are as urgent-and as universally misunderstood-as the epidemic of anxiety and depression plaguing our youngest and most vulnerable. An epidemic with ties to digital addiction\, ubiquitous screens\, and 24/7 connectivity. \nDespite mounting evidence of the emotional and psychological consequences\, a practical\, accessible\, and personalized approach to understanding and addressing this crisis has been missing-until now. This groundbreaking book is the result of a unique collaboration between two leading experts in their fields: Paul D. Tieger and Michael Shelby. Their partnership brings together decades of insight from two distinct but deeply interconnected worlds-personality psychology and technology addiction treatment.
