Challenges & Solutions

Balancing Kids, Grandparents, Gifts and More. The holidays are meant to bring joy—but for many parents, they also come with stress, family pressure, and competing expectations. Between excited kids, endless gift lists, and well-meaning grandparents who may have very different ideas about what’s “best,” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

This year, join Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and guest Cora D’Alessandro, MA for a Lunch & Learn Discussion that will help parents of children of all ages create more meaningful, joyful holidays—without the stress.

Ruth and Cora will share practical strategies and compassionate insights on how to manage holiday stress, honor family traditions, and set loving boundaries with grandparents while keeping the focus on connection. You’ll learn how to collaborate across generations to create celebrations that feel good for everyone—especially your kids.
