WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Are you ready to shift from managing the details of your child’s life to guiding them with a coach’s mindset? Watch this previously hosted workshop where Peace At Home Expert Aaron Weintraub, MS, focuses on the critical parenting approaches that support tweens through young adulthood.

Starting in the pre-teen years, we’ll explore key strategies that help foster independence while nurturing emotional growth and strong problem-solving skills. You’ll learn how to gradually shift from being the “CEO” of your child’s life to something more like a Coach, supporting their development, empowering their decision-making, and helping them build the skills they need.

This workshop will equip you with practical, actionable strategies that help your child develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to thrive. Listen in to learn how to coach your child through the journey to independent adulthood with confidence, resilience, and self-sufficiency.

Quick Tip

The Real Reason Kids Can’t Put Down Screens, And How You Can Help

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Social Media and Screens give kids a quick dopamine hit—but what they really need is serotonin.

Dopamine is like a sugar rush—its a quick feel good brain chemical that doesn’t last. That’s what screens and social media deliver: instant, fleeting highs.

Serotonin, on the other hand, builds slowly. It comes from real connection with other people, from play in nature. Serotonin helps us feel grounded and content over time.

So when your child (or you!) is constantly reaching for a screen, it may help to ask: Is this a quick hit they’re chasing, or something deeper they really need?

Listen in on this one-minute video as Peace at Home Founder and expert Ruth Freeman, LCSW, shares more on this crucial distinction.

Looking for more tips like this? Try our Search Tool, Resource Guides, or email Solutions@Peaceathomeparenting.com, and we’ll connect you with proven solutions that can help break screen time addiction and balance screen time with real-world connections.

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.

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.

The teenage years can be exciting times of growth, but can be a strain on your relationship. As your child enters the tween and teen years their brain changes in ways that cause them to find their tribe of peers. This may mean that they are less likely to seek the advice and validation of adults but it doesn’t mean they don’t need your calm, consistent guidance.
