Returning to school means disrupting the summer routines that you and your child have just settled into just when your child needs consistency the most. Children are happiest when they know what to expect. Arguments, misbehaviors, and school resistance often start when they feel that a rule is unfair or unexpected. When you talk about family rules and routines together as a family, it helps everyone feel better about what to expect even when they don’t get exactly what they want.

Without attention, mental health conditions can prevent children from reaching their full potential. Whether you want to prevent future issues, your child just doesn’t seem like their usual self, or you have significant concerns, the good news is that you can help. Join us.

Family Gatherings and Everyday Conversations: Let’s Talk About Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation

November 06, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW Peace at Home Parenting Expert Cornelius Holmes Cornelius Holmes,LPC, NCC

Challenges & Solutions

When your child approaches you to share or process their thoughts and feelings about gender identity or sexual orientation they are trusting you with their deepest sense of self. These conversations can spark fears for their wellbeing and it can be a struggle in that moment to know how to respond without rejecting or discounting their experience. These issues may challenge your values or beliefs. It might seem that being “straight” isn’t cool and your child wants to explore other options to be more like their friends.

As the holidays approach, you can anticipate that these issues may come up at the dinner table with your extended family. And that might be yet another trigger for you.

Listen in on Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW and Experts Cornelius Holmes, LPC, NCC for a conversation that will prepare you for an open, ongoing dialogue with your child or teen that is candid, authentic and supportive.
