Quick Tip

Becoming a Parent

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Tanika Eaves Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

We all want our children to be calm, kind, and patient. But what’s the best way to influence their behavior?

Start by showing them what that looks like. Kids learn more from what we do than what we say. When we take a breath instead of snapping, or admit when we mess up, they notice. And here’s the bonus! It doesn’t just help them.

Over time, modeling the behavior you want to see in your child can actually change you, too. “Sometimes the best way to teach your child is to practice becoming the person you want them to be.”

Listen in on this one-minute video as Peace at Home expert Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E, shares how to model the behavior we want to see in our children.

Looking for more tips like this? Try our Search Tool, Resource Guides, or email Solutions@Peaceathomeparenting.com, and we’ll connect you with proven solutions that produce positive results.

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.
