Challenges & Solutions

A lot has changed since you were a kid.

Today’s teens face a rapidly shifting landscape of substance use—from flavored vapes and high-potency cannabis products to THC-infused sodas and colorful gummies that look like harmless candy. These products are easily accessible, cleverly marketed, and often perceived as “safer” alternatives, even though the risks are real and rising.

You’ll explore why adolescence naturally invites risk taking, how substances like nicotine and cannabis affect developing brains, and how to recognize the difference between experimentation and early signs of addiction. Whether your child is substance-free or already experimenting, this workshop will equip you with the tools to respond calmly, clearly, and effectively. When you’re informed, connected, and proactive, you can make a powerful difference.

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Aaron Weintraub Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Is your child glued to their phone—and growing more distant? Are you feeling overwhelmed by group chats, screen time battles, and emotional outbursts tied to social media? You’ve probably already discovered that the solution is not stricter punishments. What really helps is building a stronger connection with your child or teen.

Watch Peace at Home Expert Aaron Weintraub, MS lead this powerful and practical parenting workshop.  You’ll learn how to set healthy tech boundaries without damaging trust. Discover how to move from conflict to cooperation by teaching your child (especially daughters) emotional awareness, digital safety, and mindful habits—with you as their guide, not their warden.

And remember the good news—technology is an incredible asset for kids when used intentionally. From learning apps and research tools to creative expression, social support, and safe identity exploration, tech can help your child grow, connect, and thrive in ways previous generations couldn’t have imagined.

When we shift from fear to curiosity—and from control to collaboration—we create space for kids to build a healthy, balanced relationship with technology that supports both their mental health and personal development.

Chasing Perfect: How Comparison is Stealing Your Joy and Making Parenting Harder

July 22, 2025 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

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.
