If you’re feeling like you don’t have the bandwidth to be the parent you really want to be, you are not alone.

One recent study reports that 66% of working parents are experiencing “parental burnout” which may include increased anxiety, depression, use of alcohol, increased punitive parenting and even feeling distant from their kids. At the same time we are seeing soaring rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health problems in children and teens. The American Academy of Pediatrics has actually declared a “national crisis” in pediatric mental health. This post-pandemic perfect storm is impacting families across the country.

This workshop will help you recognize the ways this national crisis may be affecting your family and/or how to protect your family from its impact. You’ll have a chance to consider parenting basics that can reduce family challenges and strengthen family well-being. You’ll be able to look at when you may want to lean in a bit more with your kids and when you can step back to reduce stress.

Bring Your Inner Child To Work Day (OMG)

April 27, 2023 4:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Cora Megan,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Let’s be real…many of us have had our kids “at work” enough over the past couple of years, but what about our “inner child?” Let’s bring them out to play.

So what is your “inner child?” One definition refers to your subconscious mind that was picking up messages before you were mentally and emotionally able to fully process what was happening around you. Your inner child holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past, as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

Your inner child holds some gifts you may not be accessing. Children learn and thrive through play, so we will examine the ways that bringing that playful part of us to work can stimulate creativity, relaxation and positive relationships.

Join Peace At Home founder, Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW and much loved early childhood expert, Cora Megan, MA to think together about how your inner child is either showing up in ways that challenge you or maybe getting ignored in ways that limit your happiness and satisfaction with life.

Expert

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.
