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 Dana LaBranche MA, Med . The start of a new school year brings excitement, but it can also bring worry. Whether your child is starting kindergarten, entering middle or high school, heading off to college, or somewhere in between, back-to-school anxiety is common for both kids and parents. Concerns about making friends, meeting teachers, fitting in, handling schoolwork, or adjusting to new routines can make the transition stressful.
Join Peace at Home Parenting for an interactive Lunch & Learn Conversation about helping children manage back-to-school worries. Together, we’ll explore why school transitions can feel overwhelming, how anxiety shows up at different ages, and what you can do to help your child feel safe, supported, and confident. You’ll leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to recognize anxiety, start meaningful conversations, and build simple daily habits that reduce stress and strengthen resilience throughout the school year.
Bring your questions, hear from other parents, and leave feeling more prepared to help your child—and yourself—start the school year with greater calm and confidence.
Please ask questions and share your experiences during the session. If you would like to request a specific topic to be covered, please email us ahead of time at solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com
