Letting Go of Perfect: Break Free from Perfectionism and Comparison
Expert

Challenges & Solutions
Does it ever feel like your family is stuck in an endless race—to do more, be more, or measure up to others? Unrealistic expectations can leave both parents and children feeling like they’re never enough.
In this session, we’ll explore how perfectionism and comparison are deeply intertwined, feeding the illusion that other families “have it all together.” Social media, academic pressure, and even well-meaning parenting habits can reinforce this cycle, increasing stress, anxiety, and disconnection within the family.
Perfectionism has become increasingly common, especially among young people, over the past 30 years and is associated with depression, eating disorders, and even suicide. But the good news is, you can interrupt this cycle. You’ll learn how to shift away from unrealistic standards and toward values like authenticity, connection, and self-compassion.
Join Peace at Home Founder, Ruth Freeman LCSW to learn how to recognize these harmful patterns, understand their emotional impact, and take concrete steps to foster a healthier, more accepting family environment.

Who Owns the Problem? Hint, It’s Not You. How To Teach Problem Solving and Resilience (2025)
Expert

Challenges & Solutions
- Do you find yourself trying to solve your child’s problems?
- Do you sometimes get into conflict about problems that aren’t really yours to solve?
- Do you wish your child would be more effective at dealing with challenges?
When you recognize who “owns” a problem, you can determine who is responsible for solving it. Once you know which problems are yours to solve and which problems are your child’s responsibility to solve, life gets a lot easier.
We often fall into conflicts when we try to solve our kids’ problems. And most importantly, when teens perceive that they are problem solvers, they are less likely to use substances, less likely to harm themselves or others and they are all around more competent. When you teach your child problem solving skills, you are strengthening their emotional intelligence. This asset will help them succeed in relationships, at work and in most endeavors now and in the future.
