Peace at Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, led a Lunch and Learn conversation with experts JoAnn Robinson, PhD, and Cora Megan, MA. They explored key issues facing parents in an open and engaging discussion where participants asked questions, shared comments, and connected with one another. If you missed it live, you can watch the recording to hear their insights and join the conversation at your own pace.

Think preparing your child for the classroom means flashcards and worksheets? Think again. The real magic happens through play—and in this lively 60-minute Lunch and Learn, you’ll discover how playful interactions can build a strong foundation for your child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development from toddlerhood through the kindergarten years.

We’ll explore the ABCs of Play framework and how to tailor it to your child’s unique developmental stage:

Create secure emotional bonds that help your child feel safe, seen, and confident as they explore new environments and challenges—from toddler transitions to preschool to kindergarten classrooms.

B is for Belonging
Foster friendships, communication, and cooperation through everyday play and routines that build social skills and a strong sense of connection with others.

C is for Curiosity
Inspire a lifelong love of learning through hands-on discovery, imaginative play, and open-ended exploration that fuels thinking and problem-solving.

Help Your Child Make Friends: When to Lean In and When to Let Go (2025)

Does your child have trouble making and keeping friends? 

Are you unsure about how to help? 

We all hope that our children will make meaningful connections with peers and mentors. When they struggle with making friends, it is difficult not to worry. Often, our first instinct is to try to teach specific social skills and manners, but the truth is that strong relationships come from the inside out. What we call charisma can be broken down into empathy and confidence. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are the foundation of your child’s social life.
