The Safe Community Coalition, in partnership with the Temple Rodef Shalom, is proud to host the authors of Raising A Kid Who Can, an event that is sure to help parents - and kids - start the new school year off strong!
This book launch and speaker event features three McLean-based parenting experts - a child psychiatrist, a parent psychologist, and a child therapist - who have spent years distilling the latest parenting science and best practices to answer the complex question: Based on all that modern science has to offer, what are the most important things I should try to do in raising my kid? 
This meet-the-authors event takes place Wed, Sept 13 at Temple Rodef Shalom (2100 Westmoreland St.). The Presentation and Q&A is 7-8:30 pm with Book Signing immediately afterward. Books will be available for sale at the event.
