About This Workshop

  • Are you constantly solving your child’s problems?
  • Do conflicts arise over challenges that might not be yours to fix?
  • Do you wish your child could handle challenges more effectively?

This workshop will help you identify who “owns” a problem—whether it’s yours or your child’s responsibility—and how to approach it. By understanding this distinction, you can avoid unnecessary conflicts, reduce stress, and empower your child to become a capable problem solver.

When teens see themselves as problem solvers, they’re less likely to engage in risky behaviors, including substance use or self-harm. Teaching your child how to solve problems strengthens their emotional intelligence, preparing them for success in relationships, at work, and in life now and in the future. Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth E Freeman, LCSW to explore strategies that make life easier for you and your family while fostering your child’s independence and resilience.
