Raising a daughter in today’s world feels more complex than ever. You want to raise her to be confident and strong, but you also worry about the pressures she faces—from friendships and social media to a culture that’s constantly sending mixed messages about her worth.  You want to be her guide, her soft place to land, but sometimes it feels like you’re speaking a different language.

What if the secret to navigating it all isn’t a list of rules, but the strength of your connection with her?

This workshop is about becoming the calm, confident guide your daughter needs. We’ll explore how your secure and loving relationship can be the anchor that holds her steady through the stormy seas of growing up. We start from a simple, powerful belief: deep down, your daughter is good, and her behavior is just her way of communicating what she needs. Our job is to listen underneath the words.

You are your daughter’s most important relationship. Join Peace at Home Experts Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®, and Aaron Weintraub, MS, to learn how to strengthen that connection and become the secure anchor she can count on, no matter what challenges come her way.

Challenges & Solutions

Join a candid Lunch and Learn conversation with Peace at Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW as she interviews experts on the issues that matter most to parents. Jump in, ask questions, make comments, and connect with other parents who are seeking answers to the tough questions.

This month, Ruth talks with Lucinda Gibbons, MFT, the lead Fair Play clinical trainer.

Join them to dive into the surprising connection between everyday household tasks and a meaningful romantic relationship. If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by the invisible mental load of parenting and household chores, this session is for you.

You’ll learn how sharing responsibilities with your partner doesn’t just lighten your load — it actually improves your well-being, increases relationship satisfaction, and creates a healthier environment for your children. Drawing on the evidence that parents who perceive responsibilities as fairly shared experience greater intimacy, stronger partnerships and more effective parenting, we’ll explore practical strategies for balancing duties, letting go of the “perfect parent” myth, and establishing a more equitable partnership. We’ll reference the principles of Fair Play throughout to show how intentional allocation and communication around tasks can transform your connection with your partner.

You’ll leave feeling confident, lighter, and ready to co-create a more connected, joyful family life — one where household tasks become a gateway to deeper intimacy, not resentment or exhaustion.

Raising Resilient and Connected Sons: A Workshop for Building a Bond That Lasts

Challenges & Solutions

Raising boys is a journey filled with beautiful chaos. It’s the boundless energy, the muddy sneakers, the unexpected tenderness, and the big, stormy feelings that can leave you wondering if you’re getting any of this right. You see the good kid you know is in there, but sometimes it gets lost behind a wall of defiance, a sudden outburst, or the frustrating silence of a slammed door.

You’re not alone. In a world full of noise and distractions, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing your influence. You might be asking yourself:

  • How do I handle his endless energy and aggression without crushing his spirit?
  • How can I get him to listen without yelling, threatening, or giving in?
  • How do I stay his most trusted guide when the pull of his friends gets stronger every day?

This workshop isn’t about finding the perfect technique to control behavior. It’s about something much deeper and more powerful: strengthening your connection. Because when your bond is secure, everything else gets easier. You become the safe harbor he can always return to, no matter how stormy the seas get.

Join Peace at Home Experts Aaron Weintraub, MS and Amy Alamar, Ed.D. as they share proven strategies and tools you can use every day to create connection and nurture resilient young men.  We look forward to hearing your stories and challenges and coming together to share the journey.  If you have a specific question or topic you’d like to share with Aaron and Amy ahead of time, please email Solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com.

Lighten the Mental Load: Create a Meaningful Low-Stress Holiday Season_Yale Exclusive

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor Peace at Home expert Lucinda Gibbons Lucinda Gibbons,MMFT

Challenges & Solutions

The holidays are meant to bring joy. But for many parents, they also bring pressure, endless planning, and the weight of everyone else’s expectations. In fact, one poll found 20% of parents say holiday stress negatively affects family life – and nearly twice as many moms as dads rate their stress levels as “high.”

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to share the mental load of holiday prep and planning, and how to set clear expectations and boundaries. We’ll also show you ways to make the planning process part of your family connection, rather than a solo burden. Whether you’re parenting solo or with a partner, and whatever your children’s ages, you’ll leave with practical tools to bring more ease, equity, and joy to your holiday season.

Parents are craving:

  • Recognition of the invisible labor they carry (especially for moms).
  • Tools to communicate, collaborate, and share the load — especially with partners and older kids.
  • A path to connection, not just survival, through the holidays.
  • Relief from being the “default planner” of every meal, gift, and moment.

Let’s do this together.  Watch this previously hosted session with Peace at Home experts Aaron Weintraub, MS, and Lucinda Gibbons, MFT, the lead Fair Play clinical trainer, for straightforward advice, practical solutions, and simple ways to create less stress and more joy, so your whole family can enjoy the holiday season.

Pleasure vs. Happiness for Parents: Reclaiming Joy in a Dopamine Driven World

January 13, 2026 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

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

Our lives — and our children’s — are filled with constant stimulation. Every ping, like, reward, processed food snack and sugary treat gives a quick hit of dopamine, the brain’s chemical of pleasure and reward. But when busy family life runs on constant dopamine bursts — from screens to snacks to scrolling — true happiness begins to fade.

In this one-hour, interactive digital workshop, we’ll explore Dr. Robert Lustig’s groundbreaking insight into the difference between pleasure and happiness — and how understanding this simple but profound contrast can reshape the emotional climate of your home.

You’ll discover how everyday family interactions — morning routines, after-school check-ins, dinner conversations, even weekend activities — either fuel dopamine (short-term pleasure) or serotonin (long-term happiness). You’ll learn how marketing, media, and social platforms are expertly designed to keep families stuck in the dopamine loop — and how this cycle impacts focus, cooperation, empathy, motivation, and mental health.

Together, we’ll unpack the addictive nature of dopamine-driven habits, the subtle ways they hijack our choices, and the steps parents can take to rebalance family life toward serotonin-based connection, meaning, and calm joy.

This workshop is for parents of kids of all ages who want to feel more grounded, raise emotionally strong children, and bring back true happiness to family life.

Join us for an hour with Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and inspiring teacher Aaron Weintraub, MS, that may change how you think about everything from snacks to screens — and help you build a home where calm, connection, and joy take center stage.
