Practical Tools to Help Kids Fall Asleep, Stay Asleep and Wake Up Rested.  Join us for a candid Lunch and Learn conversation with Peace At Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, and renowned sleep expert Lisa Meltzer, Ph.D., as they unpack one of the toughest parenting challenges—getting kids to sleep. Bring your questions, share your struggles, and connect with other parents who are searching for practical, peaceful solutions to bedtime battles.

If bedtime in your home feels more like a showdown than a wind-down, you’re not alone. From toddler stalling and tantrums to school-aged worries, nightmares, and late-night screens, sleep issues are among the most common—and exhausting—concerns for families. During this engaging live session, Ruth and Lisa will help you understand what healthy sleep really looks like for kids and how to create routines that work for your family.

Whether your preschooler still needs a nap or your 8-year-old can’t fall asleep without you, you’ll walk away with clear, evidence-based tools to make bedtime smoother and mornings a whole lot easier. Grab your lunch, join the conversation, and discover how to bring more rest—and peace—into your home.
