Challenges & Solutions

Are you ready to shift from managing the details of your child’s life to guiding them with a coach’s mindset? Join Peace At Home Expert Aaron Weintraub for this workshop focused on the critical parenting approaches that support tweens through young adulthood, ensuring they launch into independence with confidence, resilience, and self-sufficiency.

Starting in the pre-teen years, we’ll explore key strategies that help foster independence while nurturing emotional growth and strong problem-solving skills. You’ll learn how to gradually shift from being the “CEO” of your child’s life to something more like a coach—supporting their development, empowering their decision-making, and helping them build the skills they need for adulthood.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be equipped with practical, actionable strategies that help your child develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to thrive. Learn to coach your child through the journey to independence and set them up for long-term success in life and beyond.

Challenges & Solutions

​Adolescence is a pivotal period marked by important physical, cognitive, and social transformations. As teenagers navigate the challenges of self-identity and social dynamics, they may exhibit moodiness, anxiety, or irritability. However, when these behaviors escalate to withdrawal, lethargy, altered eating or sleeping patterns, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, or conflicts with peers and adults, it could indicate underlying depression or anxiety.​

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of mood disorders is essential for providing timely and effective support. This session will equip you with practical strategies to foster healthy coping mechanisms and promote your teen’s emotional well-being. We’ll discuss common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that your approaches are supportive and constructive.​

Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Viana Turcios-Cotto Ph.D for this live, interactive session. Be better prepared to support your teen through the challenges of adolescence, promoting a healthier and more communicative parent-teen relationship.

Challenges & Solutions

Rapid growth, exploration and risk taking are all part of teen development. Taking risks gives teens a chance to test their abilities and learn more about themselves. Some risks, however, can be harmful and have lasting effects on your child’s health and well-being.

Vaping has become one of the most popular forms of substance use among young people, despite growing evidence of its health risks and harms. Whether your child is substance free, has already experimented or is using regularly, this workshop is for you. Trust your gut and get the facts. Parent knowledge, communication, and monitoring can make a big difference in keeping your child safe. 

Join Jonathan Beazley LADC, LMFT and Peace at Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, to get the facts you need to know about teen substance use and abuse, including vaping, nicotine and cannabis.
