Book Recommendations
A beautiful meditation on the joys of being a grandparent and a practical guide to help you and your adult children make the most of your relationship with a grandchild.
Drawing on her personal experience, dozens of interviews, and the latest findings in psychology, Isay shows how a grandparent can use his or her unique perspective and experience to create a deep and lasting bond that will echo throughout a grandchild's life.

In Wired Child, see how our kids have become smartphone experts who struggle in reading, math, and other educational basics. Discover how many "child-friendly" technologies are depriving kids of joy in the real world, putting them at risk for device addictions.
Wired Child gives you the confidence and skills you need to safely navigate your children through a rapidly shifting media landscape. You'll also learn how to protect kids from destructive tech addictions, and instead guide them to use technology productively as a positive force for their future.
Dr. Freed will also be presenting a workshop at the Tang Ed. Center on Wednesday, Feb. 6th at 12.10 pm
