Around age 2 1/2-3, children's behavior becomes newly challenging and parents may wonder, "Who is this child?"

They can have BIG emotions that change all the time, shifting from gleeful to devastated to furious within minutes. If you have a child in this stage, or about to enter it, join us to learn

  • Henry Knox’s Trek from Ticonderoga: Myths, Realities, and Results for Boston

And like many famous stories, it embodies a fair amount of legend and lore. This talk sorts out what we know, what we only think we know, and what we should know about how Knox brought this “noble train of artillery” that helped to make all of Massachusetts independent. J.
