Challenges & Solutions

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.

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

December 02, 2025 12:00 pm EDT/EST

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.

Raising Happy, Resilient Kids: Parenting with Optimism and Confidence

November 06, 2025 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

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

Challenges & Solutions

Does it ever feel like your child believes the next new toy, gadget, or pair of cool sneakers will finally make them happy? You’re not alone – we’ve all been there! Sure, those shiny new things might spark joy for a day or two, but what about lasting happiness?

What really makes our kids happy in the long run? Too often, we get swept up in what ads and social media claim will bring joy. It turns out the secret to raising a happy child isn’t found at the mall or in the toy aisle, but in something much more meaningful. We start by learning the difference between pleasure and happiness for both our kids and ourselves.

Research shows that more “stuff” doesn’t lead to real, lifelong happiness. Instead, raising truly happy kids comes from nurturing their inner strengths. Optimism – a hopeful, positive outlook on life – and resilience – the ability to bounce back from challenges – are skills strongly linked to children’s well-being and future success.

The good news is that even though every child has their own temperament, parents can easily help boost these traits. In this fun and practical workshop, we’ll explore simple day-to-day strategies to grow your child’s optimism and resilience (and your own!). 

Best of all, you’ll gain the confidence to set loving limits on all that “stuff” and refocus on what really counts for a happy family. Imagine feeling sure of yourself when you say “enough” to new toys and instead share experiences that make your child light up from the inside out. Whether your child is a toddler, a teen, or somewhere in between, these ideas will help parents of all age groups create a more joyful, connected home. Watch this previously hosted session with Peace at Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and discover how focusing on optimism and resilience can bring more smiles (and fewer gimmies) into your family’s life!
