Challenges & Solutions

Join a candid Lunch and Learn conversation with Peace at Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW as she interviews experts on the issues that matter most to parents. Jump in, ask questions, make comments, and connect with other parents who are seeking answers to the tough questions.

This month, Ruth talks with Lucinda Gibbons, MFT, the lead Fair Play clinical trainer.

Join them to dive into the surprising connection between everyday household tasks and a meaningful romantic relationship. If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by the invisible mental load of parenting and household chores, this session is for you.

You’ll learn how sharing responsibilities with your partner doesn’t just lighten your load — it actually improves your well-being, increases relationship satisfaction, and creates a healthier environment for your children. Drawing on the evidence that parents who perceive responsibilities as fairly shared experience greater intimacy, stronger partnerships and more effective parenting, we’ll explore practical strategies for balancing duties, letting go of the “perfect parent” myth, and establishing a more equitable partnership. We’ll reference the principles of Fair Play throughout to show how intentional allocation and communication around tasks can transform your connection with your partner.

You’ll leave feeling confident, lighter, and ready to co-create a more connected, joyful family life — one where household tasks become a gateway to deeper intimacy, not resentment or exhaustion.

Challenges & Solutions

As parents, we’re surrounded by advice—from doctors, teachers, therapists, and online experts. But sometimes, all that input can leave us more uncertain than ever. How do you know when to follow professional advice—and when to balance that with listening to your own instincts?

Join us for a warm and practical Lunch & Learn conversation that will help you feel more confident in your parenting choices. Together, we’ll explore:

  • How to recognize when your “gut feeling” is worth following.
  • When professional advice may not be the right fit for your child.
  • Real-life examples from children’s and teens’ mental health and neurodiversity challenges.
  • Simple strategies to balance expert input with what you know about your child.

You’ll leave with tools to sort through conflicting recommendations, ask the right questions, and advocate with confidence. Bring your lunch, tune in, and join a supportive discussion that puts parents back in the driver’s seat.
