Challenges & Solutions

New babies are driven to eat, play, and sleep throughout the day – it’s how they grow. Sounds simple but balancing your work with new baby’s needs can be challenging, especially when you are working from home. During your leave you adapted to your new baby’s needs and now feel a special bond that you don’t want to compromise as you return to work. Consider important ways that you can create balance and maintain your special relationship with your new baby.

Generation Bonds: Nurturing Thriving Relationships Between Grandparents, Adult Children, and Grandkids

Challenges & Solutions

Relationships with grandchildren are among the most cherished that adults experience. And yet, that relationship comes with rules and challenges. Almost half of parents report having conflicts with their children’s grandparents about discipline, food, screen time and bedtime among other issues. Some parents feel frustrated but don’t want to rock the boat or hurt their parents’ feelings.

Grandparents may hate being told what to do by their own kids or truly believe they know better. Some grandparents are accustomed to offering unsolicited advice which they may have done throughout their child’s lives, even though it isn’t really helpful. And finally some grandparents just hate stepping down from the position of being the wise one.

In some cases, parents are intentionally doing things differently from their parents. Neuroscience has taught us a lot more about child development and the impact of the parent-child relationship but grandparents are not always open to learning about these ideas. As we age, change can be hard, especially about deeply held cultural beliefs and values.

Listen to this conversation between two seasoned Peace At Home teachers: one is a grandparent and the other is a parent who deals daily with her children’s grandparents. Let’s untangle this age old challenge together on behalf of the kids!

Sophie Hornick,MS, CCLS

Challenges & Solutions

It can be hard to know where to start when talking with your child about grief and loss. Kids grieve differently than adults, but they experience the same wide range of strong emotions that adults feel. Children and teens may express their emotions differently and it helps to recognize the many ways their grief may show up.

While there is no one size fits all approach, there are strategies and tips you can use to help your child cope. In this interactive workshop, you’ll connect with a Peace At Home expert to get answers to your questions about this tough issue. You’ll learn tangible ways to allow kids to explore their feelings and remember their loved one.

Parent Burnout and Kids’ Mental Health: What Really Matters?

If you’re feeling like you don’t have the bandwidth to be the parent you really want to be, you are not alone.

One recent study reports that 66% of working parents are experiencing “parental burnout” which may include increased anxiety, depression, use of alcohol, increased punitive parenting and even feeling distant from their kids. At the same time we are seeing soaring rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health problems in children and teens. The American Academy of Pediatrics has actually declared a “national crisis” in pediatric mental health. This post-pandemic perfect storm is impacting families across the country.

This workshop will help you recognize the ways this national crisis may be affecting your family and/or how to protect your family from its impact. You’ll have a chance to consider parenting basics that can reduce family challenges and strengthen family well-being. You’ll be able to look at when you may want to lean in a bit more with your kids and when you can step back to reduce stress.

Bring Your Inner Child To Work Day (OMG)

April 27, 2023 4:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Cora Megan,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Let’s be real…many of us have had our kids “at work” enough over the past couple of years, but what about our “inner child?” Let’s bring them out to play.

So what is your “inner child?” One definition refers to your subconscious mind that was picking up messages before you were mentally and emotionally able to fully process what was happening around you. Your inner child holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past, as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

Your inner child holds some gifts you may not be accessing. Children learn and thrive through play, so we will examine the ways that bringing that playful part of us to work can stimulate creativity, relaxation and positive relationships.

Join Peace At Home founder, Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW and much loved early childhood expert, Cora Megan, MA to think together about how your inner child is either showing up in ways that challenge you or maybe getting ignored in ways that limit your happiness and satisfaction with life.

Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Finding your own nurturing style as a dad can be tricky. But learning how to meet your child’s emotional needs doesn’t have to be too complicated. We can help. We all carry our own ideas about what fatherhood means, and these ideas are often influenced by our own experiences. Becoming aware of those beliefs and behaviors helps us to decide what we want to pass on and what to leave behind. Join a Peace At Home expert and other dads in learning how to create rules, routines, rhythms and rituals within your family that support a peaceful home.

Perfectionism and Your Family: Find Calm, Connection and Cooperation in Letting Go

March 23, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Take This Workshop

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

It has been said that perfectionism is a trait that makes life an endless report card on accomplishments or appearances. Join us to discover how perfectionism can affect you and your children, and strategies that you can use to reduce it within your family. The tendency toward perfectionism has increased significantly among young people over the past 30 years. It can be associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and even suicide. The needs to feel accepted and to be cared about tend to drive perfectionism and without treatment, may get worse over time.

Perfectionists strive for flawlessness in themselves and/or in others. If you’re wondering whether you have these tendencies, the chances are that you do to one degree or another.

Tiger Parenting? It’s More Complicated than That: How Our Parents Impact Who We Really Are, Omnicom Exclusive

Na Zhang,PhD, MEd

Challenges & Solutions

Join us for this expert-led live class exclusively for Omnicom. A recording of the class with handouts will be available once the class is complete.

“Tiger parenting” is characterized by strict discipline and high expectations for academic success, commonly observed in Asian communities. However, this concept oversimplifies the complex nature of parenting practices in their unique cultural and family contexts. Gaining awareness about how our childhood experiences impact us as adults can free us up to live our lives with more ease and joy.
