Fair Play – Celebrate Women’s Equality – Find Balance and Harmony When Sharing Household Tasks (OMG)

August 30, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Lucinda Gibbons,MMFT

Challenges & Solutions

Most agree that finding ways to fairly share responsibilities at home is very important to feeling satisfied for couples who are married or living together. However, in 2020, 55% of men said they are very satisfied with this aspect of their relationship, while only 38% of women see it the same way. So to honor Women’s Equality Day, let’s dig into these differing views and discover what really works for both partners. Everybody loses out when we don’t have equity and everybody needs to participate in recalibrating how we do things to reach equality. Join us for an enlightening conversation and discover a new, highly effective approach to solving the persistent challenge of gender equity in household tasks among heterosexual couples.

This interactive workshop will help you gain invaluable insights into the dynamics of gender inequity within partnerships and acquire practical tools to address these imbalances. You’ll gain tools to create a more balanced and harmonious partnership with less tension over daily life and more room for fun and fulfillment.

We will explore ways these strategies can promote a supportive corporate culture that encourages equitable partnerships, work-life balance, and shared responsibility among employees

Please note: This workshop is open to all participants, regardless of your relationship status or gender identity. The content will focus primarily on addressing gender inequity with heterosexual partnerships. The content will also acknowledge and respect the diversity of relationships and family structures.

Generation Bonds: Nurturing Thriving Relationships Between Grandparents, Adult Children, and Grandkids

Challenges & Solutions

Relationships with grandchildren are among the most cherished that adults experience. And yet, that relationship comes with rules and challenges. Almost half of parents report having conflicts with their children’s grandparents about discipline, food, screen time and bedtime among other issues. Some parents feel frustrated but don’t want to rock the boat or hurt their parents’ feelings.

Grandparents may hate being told what to do by their own kids or truly believe they know better. Some grandparents are accustomed to offering unsolicited advice which they may have done throughout their child’s lives, even though it isn’t really helpful. And finally some grandparents just hate stepping down from the position of being the wise one.

In some cases, parents are intentionally doing things differently from their parents. Neuroscience has taught us a lot more about child development and the impact of the parent-child relationship but grandparents are not always open to learning about these ideas. As we age, change can be hard, especially about deeply held cultural beliefs and values.

Listen to this conversation between two seasoned Peace At Home teachers: one is a grandparent and the other is a parent who deals daily with her children’s grandparents. Let’s untangle this age old challenge together on behalf of the kids!

Navigate Change: Support Your Child Through Transitions

Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

Adjusting to a new school, new friends, new childcare, new family structure through divorce or other family changes can be both positive and daunting at the same time. Guiding children through these experiences while we are having feelings at the same time can be a challenge. It helps to keep in mind that processing change actually strengthens resilience. Trying to always protect your child from having to make changes really isn’t helpful.

So what does help? Kids who are new to change need a little extra support to recognize and address emotions as well as strategies to solve problems and feel at ease. Let’s talk together to gain an overview of the common stresses associated with major points of transition in family life like entering kindergarten, graduating from high school, even “boomerang” adult children returning home, and more. You’ll have a chance to understand your own reactions to change as well as those of your child so that you can gracefully and lovingly offer support during these exciting and sometimes challenging times.

Challenges & Solutions

If you’re feeling like you don’t have the bandwidth to be the parent you really want to be, you are not alone.

One recent study reports that 66% of working parents are experiencing “parental burnout” which may include increased anxiety, depression, use of alcohol, increased punitive parenting and even feeling distant from their kids. At the same time we are seeing soaring rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health problems in children and teens. The American Academy of Pediatrics has actually declared a “national crisis” in pediatric mental health. This post-pandemic perfect storm is impacting families across the country.

This workshop will help you recognize the ways this national crisis may be affecting your family and/or how to protect your family from its impact. You’ll have a chance to consider parenting basics that can reduce family challenges and strengthen family well-being. You’ll be able to look at when you may want to lean in a bit more with your kids and when you can step back to reduce stress.

Challenges & Solutions

Do morning routines drive you a little crazy? Does trash only get taken out after a zillion reminders? Stop the nagging, complaining, and punishing. Consider positive discipline and the practical strategies that support children to be more responsible. Parents who focus on the negative tend to have less time to meaningfully connect with their children. There are many positive discipline parenting tools that will help to create smoother family routines. These same tools will also help your children to be more responsible. Join other parents to learn how rules, routines and positive discipline instead of punishment will lead to a better connection with your children.

Tiger Parenting? It’s More Complicated than That: How Our Parents Impact Who We Really Are, Omnicom Exclusive

Expert

Na Zhang,PhD, MEd

Challenges & Solutions

Join us for this expert-led live class exclusively for Omnicom. A recording of the class with handouts will be available once the class is complete.

“Tiger parenting” is characterized by strict discipline and high expectations for academic success, commonly observed in Asian communities. However, this concept oversimplifies the complex nature of parenting practices in their unique cultural and family contexts. Gaining awareness about how our childhood experiences impact us as adults can free us up to live our lives with more ease and joy.

Getting through daily tasks – during the work week and on weekends – can sometimes feel challenging. Young children are not always ready to cooperate. Developing positive routines that support learning can be enjoyable for you and your child. Cooperation may happen more often when the emotional climate is positive and routines are consistent.

If you are the parent of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) child, you probably have a lot of questions. Your support is key to your child’s well-being, but you may have to go through your own process to get there. Start with, “I’m here for you and love you,” even if you don’t understand and aren’t ok at the moment. Plan to get your own support so that you can process your deepest emotions and concerns, while helping your child to deal with their own. Peace At Home guest experts Barbara Esgalhado, PhD and Poshi Walker, MSW discuss with founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW to gain some ideas about helping your child thrive, while exploring your own path to understanding and genuine acceptance.
