Join us for a conversation with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, to discuss the release of her new book, The Dysregulated Kid.
In&nbsp;The Dysregulated Kid, you’ll learn how to:
– Break free from the exhausting cycle of yelling, bribing, and punishing. – Move from co-dysregulation to co-regulation, where calm is contagious. – Shift from constant reactivity to confident, steady parenting. – Use small, doable strategies that rewire both your child’s brain and your own. – Help your child be more focused, independent, and resilient so they can do better in school and in life.

In 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.
Despite 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.

The Ultimate Estate Dining Suite: Magnificent 15.5-Foot George III Mahogany Table &amp; 14 Chairs
 
For a dining room of true architectural consequence. We are pleased to present a magnificent George III mahogany dining suite, fresh to the market after being held in a single private collection for nearly a century.
This is a serious investment piece for those who value heritage over transient showroom trends. The four-pedestal table, flanked by two classic D-ends, extends via three period leaves to a commanding 15&frac12; feet. It effortlessly accommodates the accompanying fourteen matching period shield-back chairs (including two carvers/armchairs).
Rather than a sterile reproduction finish, the timber boasts the rich, complex depth and warm character that only centuries of genuine care can bestow. This suite represents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete, historic hosting asset that will anchor a home for generations to come.
<ul>
 <li>Provenance:
 Retained in one private residence for 80 years.</li>
 <li>Capacity:
 Extends comfortably to 185.5 inches.</li>
 <li>Inclusions:
 4-part pedestal table, 3 period leaves, 14 matching chairs.</li>
</ul>
