504’s and IEPs – What’s the Difference and How Can They Help My Child? (2025)

July 26, 2023 8:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Andrea Brinnel Andrea Brinnel,Ed.D.

Challenges & Solutions

Are you concerned about your child’s progress in school but afraid to have your child “labeled”? Are you new to the process and feel confused about how special education works? Is your child already receiving special education services, but you’re still feeling confused? 

You are not alone. The world of Special Education is important to our children, but can be quite mysterious to parents.

This class will help you understand the laws behind your child’s rights. You will learn about what to expect from two different kinds of services for children with disabilities: 504 Plans and Individual Education Programs (IEPs).The difference between the two is confusing to many parents. It’s important, however, to recognize the difference so you can be an effective part of your child’s planning team and so you can evaluate whether your school is effectively meeting your child’s needs.

School Refusal: What’s Important to Know and What Can I Do? (2025)

February 02, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Kim Barton Kimberly Barton,Ph.D

Challenges & Solutions

While school refusal is often viewed as misbehavior, in most cases students are simply too anxious to enter the school environment. This class will help you define the problem and apply strategies to work with your child and the school in ways that encourage compassion and confidence.

School refusal, also known as school avoidance, is a misunderstood and complex challenge. While school refusal is often viewed as misbehavior, in most cases students are simply too anxious to enter the school environment. In some cases, students have trouble leaving their homes at all. Children with school refusal behaviors often may complain of physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach aches before school, or repeatedly ask to visit the school nurse.

The Power of Mindful Parenting to Transform Family Stress

November 07, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Na Zhang Na Zhang,PhD, MEd

Challenges & Solutions

Mindful practice deepens our awareness and helps us act wisely as parents, even in stressful times. When we bring kindness and present-moment attention to ourselves and our relationships with our child(ren), we can see and accept our own imperfections and our past experiences (even the painful ones). This helps us support our children with more awareness and connection. 

Mindful parenting is an inner practice that can be simply embedded in our daily life and is waiting for you to discover. You will learn how scientists have defined and studied mindful parenting. This new research explores the relationships between parents’ mindfulness and children’s well-being. This area of study also teaches us about best practices in everyday parenting. You will hear some of the most recent findings on the positive effects of mindfulness on our psychological and physical wellbeing, especially how mindfulness may affect our stress physiology. You will also gain mindfulness techniques you can use in everyday parenting.
