Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

  • 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.

Bridging the Generation Gap – Strengthening Grandparent-Parent Relationships

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW Peace at Home Parenting Expert Cora Megan Cora Megan,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Are you a parent who loves seeing your kids bond with their grandparents but struggles with boundaries over discipline, bedtime, or screen time? Or are you a grandparent who cherishes time with your grandchildren but feels challenged by new parenting styles?

If concerns have been building but you’re hesitant to express them, you’re not alone. A recent C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital study found that nearly half of parents report disagreements with grandparents over parenting choices, yet many remain silent. When issues go unresolved, relationships can suffer, and in some cases, parents may limit grandparents’ access—a loss felt most deeply by the children.

Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, and expert Cora Megan D’Allesandro, MA, as they dive into the dynamics of the grandparent-parent-child triangle, helping families address challenges and strengthen relationships for the long-term benefit of everyone involved.

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Each of us grows up in a unique family and when we come together as a couple, we don’t usually talk about our parenting beliefs until children are actually on the scene. Parenting differences between partners can be helpful, but over time those conflicting styles can become problematic. These differences can cause undue stress on a marriage and on children as well. But there are practical strategies you can use to get on the same page about common parenting disagreements. 

We’ll touch on sugar, screens and children’s emotions as examples of key areas where parents may differ. Join us to understand conflicting parenting styles and gain strategies to resolve your conflicts as a team. 

Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Advisor and Expert, Aaron Weintraub, MS, to start the new year on the same page.

Understand and Support Your Neurodivergent Child: From Misbehavior to Stress Response (MIT Exclusive)

October 28, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Login to access

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Michelle Sebak Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is intentional or even manipulative to gain or avoid something. However, science tells us that what is often viewed as misbehavior is actually a stress response. When a child feels stressed or unsafe on the inside, challenging behaviors are often what we see on the outside. And neurodivergent children, like those with autism or ADHD, are even more vulnerable to feeling stressed than neurotypical children. Many adults believe that time-outs or punishment will help, but you’ve probably noticed that isn’t true and it can be harmful to your child. Let’s work on this together.

Click the button above to register for this MIT Exclusive, 45 minute, virtual, Interactive workshop.  We’ll email (1) a zoom link to add to your calendar, (2) reminders as the date gets closer and (3) a link to the recording and handouts once the live session is complete.
