Esta biblioteca aborda estrategias para apoyar a tu hijo con TDAH (Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad) o TEA (Trastorno del Espectro Autista) con necesidades de apoyo leve. Muchos padres de niños con necesidades especiales reportan niveles de estrés y conflicto más altos de lo habitual. A menudo, los síntomas pueden parecer comportamientos desafiantes, y los niños con necesidades especiales pueden no responder a las técnicas de disciplina que funcionan para otros niños.

Diagnósticos como el Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) o el TDAH requieren estrategias de apoyo conductual adaptadas a las necesidades individuales de cada niño. Una disciplina efectiva se basa en la empatía y en un equilibrio entre flexibilidad y consistencia. Es momento de dejar de sobrevivir y adquirir las herramientas necesarias para disfrutar la relación con tu hijo mientras lo apoyas en su crecimiento y desarrollo.

Raise Happy Children: Parenting for Optimism and Resilience (OMG)

November 13, 2024 2:00 pm EDT
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Previously hosted live class. Access the recording and handouts by clicking on the Course Lesson below.

Parents sometimes feel discouraged when their children want more toys, the newest technology, or the coolest sneakers that they believe will make them really happy. And maybe those things will work…for a few hours or a couple of days. How often do we get caught up in what media tells us will bring joy into our lives? 

Let’s explore what really makes our kids happy?

Research tells us that “things” don’t really make us happy. While temperament is inborn, parents can actually help children increase optimism (positive outlook and hopefulness) and resilience (ability to effectively bounce back from challenges). These capacities are strongly connected to well-being and success.

Let’s examine your day to day interactions and consider approaches that will increase these important traits in yourself and your children. You will also gain the courage to set limits on “stuff” and focus on what counts in building a happy family.

Be Your Child’s Calm Center: How to Stay Calm When Your Child is Stressed (OMG)

October 22, 2024 2:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your child’s big emotions or challenging behaviors? 

Do you find yourself struggling to stay calm? 

You are not alone. 

Human beings are built to reflect each other’s emotions. When our children display intense feelings and behaviors, our brains naturally reflect those. You probably start to feel stressed, angry, fearful, or overwhelmed just like your kids. And you can’t help your child solve their problem or manage their behaviors if your own brain is stressed. So what can you do differently? You will learn practical strategies to help you be a calm center for your child’s emotional world.

Helicopter Parenting or Mindful Underparenting: What’s Good Enough?

October 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

The US Surgeon General has declared that the stress and mental health challenges faced by parents constitute a serious public health concern for our country. Almost half of parents say, most days their stress is completely overwhelming.

Join Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and teacher Aaron Weintraub, MS for an illuminating conversation about focusing on what really helps kids thrive. 

Take some time to reflect on approaches from “Helicopter Parenting” to “Mindful Underparenting.” 

Consider simple, good enough parenting strategies that bring out the best in your kids while lowering stress in both your mind and your family.

Intensive vs Balanced Parenting – 

“Intensive” or “Helicopter Parenting” is a popular trend that may be part of the problem. Characterized by a relentless focus on children’s achievement and a high level of involvement in their activities, this approach is rooted in the belief that investing enormous amounts of time and energy into a child’s development will yield the best outcomes. However, this approach can come with significant drawbacks, not the least of which is stress on the whole family. 

An alternative approach might be what one observer called “mindful underparenting” – getting more comfortable with kids feeling bored, leaving screens at home while kids get fussy about routine activities like food shopping, etc.  Many parents feel they need permission to take a step back from parenting behaviors that seem rooted in fear and doubt about our children’s capacities to find their way in the world. Can we define “Good Enough Parenting” that is about creating clear limits and boundaries, yet allowing for enough freedom within those limits for true learning to occur. Can we let our kids feel some discomfort, let them struggle, and just support them work it through?
