A private discussion group for members and friends of Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland. To register to join this group please contact [email protected] by January 24, 2025. The discussion begins on January 19th with a new reading each week. This is hosted on StoryGraphs, a non-Amazon alternative to GoodReads. You can read more here about this. You will need to join StoryGraphs. There is no cost to join or to download the app.

The book is available in ebook, print, and audio from various places including the public library.

Each week we read two chapters (+-30 pages in a small book, 5″x 8″) and will have an asynchronous discussion on this forum so that each week members can post and respond to each other in their own time frame. The hope is to keep this fairly casual. Let’s each plan to respond to these questions for each chapter:

• What did you learn?
• Name one important idea to make sure a child this age understands. What connection can you make to our UU Values that support Liberating Love (https://www.uuworld.org/articles/read…)
• Name one important idea that you think is important for you and other parents and caregivers to know.

19-Jan: Intro & 1-Birth of Denial

2-Feb: 4-Infant’s Doll & 5-Empathetic Toddler
