Our PDA Crash Course Book Study is designed to give families a place to plug in and start reading our "PDA essentials" books. Our "essentials" list is: The Declarative Language Handbook by Linda Murphy, The Explosive Child by Ross Greene, The Insider Guide to PDA by SallyCat and Brook Madera, Navigating PDA in America by Diane Gould and Ruth Fiddler, and Low Demand Parenting by Amanda Diekman.
The idea is to connect with other families as you digest the book materials, and studies offer a chance to ask questions of the author during the final session!
We rotate through our five PDA essential books on a yearly basis so that PDA families new and seasoned can jump on anytime and learn more about applying PDA-supportive principles.

Full of practical resources and scripts that are easy to implement in busy everyday life, this book is your flashlight and your map to parenting your uniquely wired child. It will not tell you where to go, but it will help you find your way so you and your family thrive.
