Challenges & Solutions

Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your child’s feelings? 

Does your child have trouble verbalizing their emotions? 

Do their displays of emotion seem like misbehavior to you? 

A better relationship with your child starts with emotional intelligence.  Emotional intelligence increases children’s self-worth and cooperation, it improves communication and strengthens the parent-child connection. Family conflict decreases with strong emotional intelligence and it impacts all of your child’s future relationships.  Join Peace at Home expert Cora Megan D’Alessandro, MA to learn how to strengthen your young child’s emotional intelligence.

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.
