Challenges & Solutions

As your child moves through adolescence they may act like they know it all or resist parent guidance. However, over the course of middle and high school, they will undoubtedly get a crash course in self-doubt, rejection, love, and adventure. They will face important challenges like college or job applications, planning for their future and a lot more.

Help your child discover and embrace their independence with skills that will help them thrive. From doing laundry to changing tires to handling finances, practical knowledge and skills will strengthen resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Get on the Same Page: Practical Steps to Resolve Parenting Style Conflicts (2025)

January 28, 2025 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

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

Challenges & Solutions

Each of us grows up in a unique family and when we come together as a couple, we don’t usually talk about our parenting beliefs until children are actually on the scene. Parenting differences between partners can be helpful, but over time those conflicting styles can become problematic. These differences can cause undue stress on a marriage and on children as well. But there are practical strategies you can use to get on the same page about common parenting disagreements. 

We’ll touch on sugar, screens and children’s emotions as examples of key areas where parents may differ. Join us to understand conflicting parenting styles and gain strategies to resolve your conflicts as a team. 

Join Peace at Home Founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Advisor and Expert, Aaron Weintraub, MS, to start the new year on the same page.

Who Owns the Problem? Hint, It’s Not You. How To Teach Problem Solving and Resilience (2025)

May 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

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

Challenges & Solutions

  • Do you find yourself trying to solve your child’s problems?
  • Do you sometimes get into conflict about problems that aren’t really yours to solve?
  • Do you wish your child would be more effective at dealing with challenges? 

When you recognize who “owns” a problem, you can determine who is responsible for solving it. Once you know which problems are yours to solve and which problems are your child’s responsibility to solve, life gets a lot easier.

We often fall into conflicts when we try to solve our kids’ problems. And most importantly, when teens perceive that they are problem solvers, they are less likely to use substances, less likely to harm themselves or others and they are all around more competent. When you teach your child problem solving skills, you are strengthening their emotional intelligence. This asset will help them succeed in relationships, at work and in most endeavors now and in the future.

Perfectionism and Your Family: Find Calm, Connection and Cooperation in Letting Go (2025)

March 23, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

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.
