The Traverse Area District Library is pleased to welcome local writer and author of the parenting book, It's OK Not to Share and Other Renegade Rules for Raising Competent and Compassionate Kids, Heather Shumaker to the Main (Woodmere) Branch for an author discussion and book signing.
Although it flips convention on its head, It’s OK Not to Share… is based on child development and emerging neuroscience research. Discover concrete skills to help your child prevent bullying, channel active energy, express feelings appropriately and much more. It’s designed to make you rethink what you thought you knew about parenting and give you saner days.
Shumaker’s writing has appeared in Parenting, Pregnancy, Organic Gardening, Traverse and other publications. An advocate for free, unstructured play in homes and schools, she lives in Traverse City with her family.
