Your Child is Headed to College, Help Them Arrive Prepared

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Marc Lehman Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

“You don’t know what you don’t know.” Most college-bound students, and their parents, know very little about what to expect after they arrive at school. It helps to be prepared for all new experiences, like dropping off their bags in their new room and meeting their roommate, to getting to their first class on-time, to encountering their first exam. You may be bringing your teen to a totally new climate and geography too. They will probably have to make all new friends and suddenly live communally with a lot of young people they don’t know.  No one talks with kids about:

  • The change in academic schedule where they transition from 7 or 8 hours in high school to 2 – 3 hours per day of college classes with an average of at least 2.5 hours of work daily to be done on their own. 
  • All the newfound freedom and lack of structure can contribute to freshmen attending their first week of being introduced to each class without realizing there will be a lot of work every week to pass their first exams. 

For many first-year college students, the dramatic number of new experiences coupled with poor self-care can result in heightened emotional stress and increased mental health issues. You will have to figure out your own new path and your role as parent. When do you lean in and when do you step back? Join us for this live interactive workshop where you can connect with other parents anticipating this new world and get answers from a seasoned clinician who has supported college freshmen across the country for years.

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

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman 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.

How to Keep the Temperature Down in Your Family: Rules, Routines, and Positive Discipline that Works

April 03, 2023 8:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman 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.

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman 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.
