Challenges & Solutions

Without attention, mental health conditions can prevent children from reaching their full potential. Whether you want to prevent future issues, your child just doesn’t seem like their usual self, or you have significant concerns, the good news is that you can help.

All children are sad, anxious, irritable, or aggressive at times. Occasionally, kids find it challenging to sit still, pay attention, or interact with others. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, these behaviors may indicate a more serious problem in some children. Discover why, without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent children from reaching their full potential and what you can do to help.

Talking to my Child About their Diagnosis of Autism

April 18, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

A diagnosis of a mental health issue or disability can come as a relief when it validates or expands your understanding of your child. It gives your family a place to start creating a support plan. You may also wonder about how much to say and how to say it to your child in a way that doesn’t harm their self-worth. In addition, when others in your family or community display symptoms of these challenges, children will often make up explanations that are not accurate. In all these cases, children will benefit from straightforward information delivered with a compassionate point of view. A little bit of preparation can go a long way in helping your child cope well and strengthen their resilience. Watch Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman and teacher Aaron Weintraub’s lively discussion about this important topic.

Anxious Children: What Really Helps? (MIT)

Expert

Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Your child may be struggling with anxiety. And you may feel frustrated and helpless. You are not alone, and there are proven strategies you can use to help your anxious child.

Does any of this sound like your child?

Clinging, crying and/or tantrums when you separate
Excessive shyness, avoiding social situations
Constant worry
Avoiding situations or places because of fears
Complaints of frequent stomach aches or headaches
Sudden and frequent panic attacks

One in three children will experience an anxiety disorder before adulthood. Unless treated, childhood anxiety doesn’t just go away, and many will grow up to be anxious adults. If you’re wondering what to say to your anxious child to help them, or if you’re simply curious what symptoms of child anxiety look like, this workshop is for you.

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Do morning routines drive you a little crazy? Does trash only get taken out after a zillion reminders? Stop the nagging, complaining, and punishing. Consider positive discipline and the practical strategies that support children to be more responsible. Parents who focus on the negative tend to have less time to meaningfully connect with their children. There are many positive discipline parenting tools that will help to create smoother family routines. These same tools will also help your children to be more responsible. Join other parents to learn how rules, routines and positive discipline instead of punishment will lead to a better connection with your children.

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

Are you worried that your teen may engage in risky behavior? Do you feel like your attempts to engage with them go nowhere? Join us to discover effective ways to communicate with your teen with strategies that work.

Studies show that youth who feel they can talk with their parents are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such as promiscuity, using substances, violence, etc. However, it’s easy to have breakdowns when talking with teens, especially about their struggles. Many of us want to help our kids to feel better and even fix their problems…which actually doesn’t help. This class will help you recognize barriers to connecting positively and apply strategies that will improve your communication during this confusing developmental stage.
