Becoming a Parent

Expert

Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

We all want our children to be calm, kind, and patient. But what’s the best way to influence their behavior?

Start by showing them what that looks like. Kids learn more from what we do than what we say. When we take a breath instead of snapping, or admit when we mess up, they notice. And here’s the bonus! It doesn’t just help them.

Over time, modeling the behavior you want to see in your child can actually change you, too. “Sometimes the best way to teach your child is to practice becoming the person you want them to be.”

Listen in on this one-minute video as Peace at Home expert Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E, shares how to model the behavior we want to see in our children.

Peace at Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, led a Lunch and Learn conversation with experts JoAnn Robinson, PhD, and Cora Megan, MA. They explored key issues facing parents in an open and engaging discussion where participants asked questions, shared comments, and connected with one another. If you missed it live, you can watch the recording to hear their insights and join the conversation at your own pace.

Think preparing your child for the classroom means flashcards and worksheets? Think again. The real magic happens through play—and in this lively 60-minute Lunch and Learn, you’ll discover how playful interactions can build a strong foundation for your child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development from toddlerhood through the kindergarten years.

Whether your child is just beginning to explore the world, getting ready for Pre-K, or stepping into their kindergarten classroom for the first time, this session will help you nurture confidence, connection, and curiosity—all while you enjoy your lunch.

We’ll explore the ABCs of Play framework and how to tailor it to your child’s unique developmental stage:

Create secure emotional bonds that help your child feel safe, seen, and confident as they explore new environments and challenges—from toddler transitions to preschool to kindergarten classrooms.

B is for Belonging
Foster friendships, communication, and cooperation through everyday play and routines that build social skills and a strong sense of connection with others.

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

Take This Workshop

Expert

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.

Challenges & Solutions

Adolescence is a pivotal period marked by important physical, cognitive, and social transformations. As teenagers navigate the challenges of self-identity and social dynamics, they may exhibit moodiness, anxiety, or irritability. However, when these behaviors escalate to withdrawal, lethargy, altered eating or sleeping patterns, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, or conflicts with peers and adults, it could indicate underlying depression or anxiety.

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of mood disorders is essential for providing timely and effective support. This session will equip you with practical strategies to foster healthy coping mechanisms and promote your teen’s emotional well-being. We’ll discuss common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that your approaches are supportive and constructive.

Does your child have trouble making and keeping friends?

Are you unsure about how to help?

We all hope that our children will make meaningful connections with peers and mentors. When they struggle with making friends, it is difficult not to worry. Often, our first instinct is to try to teach specific social skills and manners, but the truth is that strong relationships come from the inside out. What we call charisma can be broken down into empathy and confidence. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are the foundation of your child’s social life.

Aaron Weintraub,MS, Curriculum Advisor

Challenges & Solutions

Each of us grows up in a unique family and when we come together as a couple, we don’t usually talk about our parenting beliefs until children are actually on the scene. Parenting differences between partners can be helpful, but over time those conflicting styles can become problematic. These differences can cause undue stress on a marriage and on children as well. But there are practical strategies you can use to get on the same page about common parenting disagreements.

We’ll touch on sugar, screens and children’s emotions as examples of key areas where parents may differ. Join us to understand conflicting parenting styles and gain strategies to resolve your conflicts as a team.

Who Owns the Problem? Hint, It’s Not You. How To Teach Problem Solving and Resilience (2025)

May 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Do you find yourself trying to solve your child’s problems?
Do you sometimes get into conflict about problems that aren’t really yours to solve?
Do you wish your child would be more effective at dealing with challenges?

When you recognize who “owns” a problem, you can determine who is responsible for solving it. Once you know which problems are yours to solve and which problems are your child’s responsibility to solve, life gets a lot easier.

We often fall into conflicts when we try to solve our kids’ problems. And most importantly, when teens perceive that they are problem solvers, they are less likely to use substances, less likely to harm themselves or others and they are all around more competent. When you teach your child problem solving skills, you are strengthening their emotional intelligence. This asset will help them succeed in relationships, at work and in most endeavors now and in the future.

Perfectionism and Your Family: Find Calm, Connection and Cooperation in Letting Go (2025)

March 23, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

It has been said that perfectionism is a trait that makes life an endless report card on accomplishments or appearances. Join us to discover how perfectionism can affect you and your children, and strategies that you can use to reduce it within your family. The tendency toward perfectionism has increased significantly among young people over the past 30 years. It can be associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and even suicide. The needs to feel accepted and to be cared about tend to drive perfectionism and without treatment, may get worse over time.

Perfectionists strive for flawlessness in themselves and/or in others. If you’re wondering whether you have these tendencies, the chances are that you do to one degree or another.

All children are sad, anxious, irritable, or aggressive at times. Occasionally, kids struggle to sit still, pay attention, or interact with others. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, these behaviors may indicate a more serious problem in some children. Without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent children from reaching their full potential.

Whether your child is doing fine and you want to prevent future mental health issues, or they just don’t seem like their usual self, or they have verbalized concerning thoughts, you can help. Come learn more and how you can make a difference. The parent-child relationship is the most powerful mental health intervention known to humankind. – Bessel van der Kolk
