When your child is struggling at school, it can feel overwhelming at home—homework battles, big emotions, and constant worry about whether you’re doing enough. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW will interview Erica Brentan, M.Ed, a specialist in the life-changing impact of social-emotional learning in classrooms and at home. Ruth and Erica will discuss why school feels hard for some children and what actually helps. They’ll look beneath behaviors like avoidance, distraction, or shutdown to understand what skills or supports may be missing—and how to respond in ways that reduce stress and build confidence.
You’ll leave with practical tools to calm homework time, support big feelings, and communicate more effectively with teachers—without feeling like you have to become the teacher yourself. They’ll help you recognize common signs of learning struggle.
This conversation is for parents of elementary and middle school children. who want less stress around school and more clarity, confidence, and hope.
