Peace At Home Parenting Expert Michelle Sebak Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is intentional or even manipulative to gain or avoid something. However, science tells us that what is often viewed as misbehavior is actually a stress response. When a child feels stressed or unsafe on the inside, challenging behaviors are often what we see on the outside. And neurodivergent children, like those with autism or ADHD, are even more vulnerable to feeling stressed than neurotypical children. Many adults believe that time-outs or punishment will help, but you’ve probably noticed that isn’t true and it can be harmful to your child. Let’s work on this together.

Teens, Depression and Anxiety: What Really Helps?

May 21, 2024 1:00 pm EDT/EST

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Expert Denise Parent Denise Parent,LMFT Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Starting at 12 years old, your teen’s brain is in a process of intense physical, cognitive and social development. They are becoming more aware of themselves and forming identity – recognizing and deciding who they really are.  As their brain changes and struggles to adapt to their social environment, they may sometimes be moody, anxious and irritable. If you notice them becoming withdrawn, lacking energy, changing eating or sleeping habits, not enjoying things they used to, even fighting or getting into trouble with peers and adults, they might be experiencing depression. 

Learning about the signs and symptoms of depression can help you to support healthy coping and growth. This session will give you some ideas about what support really looks like and how to avoid unhelpful approaches that are easy to fall into when you are worried about your child.

Experts

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW Peace at Home Expert Marianne Barton Marianne Barton,P.h.D

Challenges & Solutions

Child and adolescent therapists tend to differ widely in their approaches to including parents in treatment. However, it’s helpful when you understand your child’s goals in therapy, adjust parenting approaches based on your child’s challenges and recognize when your child is making progress. Sometimes as parents we need to consider whether we have mental health challenges that may be affecting our child. Parent involvement in therapy varies based on age, strategies being used by the therapist and parent capacities. This conversation highlights best practices for parents who have children in therapy and answers questions you may have about your child’s therapy experience. Get clarity on how you can help your child reach their treatment goals.
