Peace at Home Parenting Expert Tanika Eaves Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

Even though most parents have spanked their child at one time or another, there is an amazing amount of research that tells us about the negative effects of corporal punishment. Understanding the roots of our discipline practices may be important in understanding why we choose certain parenting practices and how they affect our children.

  • Peace at Home Expert Tanika Eaves shares her passion for children and families as well as her research skills and personal insight to her extraordinary workshop. She co-presented with her esteemed guest, Doug Edwards, founder of Real Dads Forever 

This workshop took a look at the history of slavery and colonialism to think together about their role in shaping beliefs about discipline and practices presumed to be “cultural.” We will discuss how these historical traumas may have influenced certain discipline techniques and their impact on children’s emotional, mental, and behavioral well-being.

They looked at what research indicates about the kind of discipline that is both helpful and affirming to kids and increases cooperation. We will consider positive discipline and how it works. Positive discipline emphasizes understanding children’s needs and emotions while nurturing their growth and development. By using positive discipline techniques, parents build strong, trusting relationships with their children, leading to healthier emotional and social development. Science based, positive discipline approaches also tend to increase cooperation without harming children’s confidence and courage.

This library addresses ways to support your child with ADHD or Autism with low support needs. Many parents of children with special needs report higher than average levels of stress and conflict. Often symptoms can look like misbehavior, and children with special needs may not respond to the discipline techniques that work for other children. Diagnoses like Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD require behavioral support strategies that are specific to each child’s needs. Effective discipline is built on empathy and a balance between flexibility and consistency. It’s time to stop just surviving, and gain the tools you need to thrive and enjoy your relationship with your child, as you support their growth and development.

Maybe you want to be more patient. Maybe you want to stop yelling, threatening and/or punishing. You wonder how to get cooperation without those old standby methods. Our experts have the answers you need. 

Mountains of research has shown that children are built to seek connection with their caregivers. They want your attention and actually need it to thrive. So you’ll get more of whatever behaviors you give attention to. However most parents give a lot more attention to challenging behaviors than to the behavior that they want. So they are actually rewarding the behavior they don’t want even with negative attention. It’s how kids’ brains work. 

Most importantly, building strong positive connections with your children is the foundation of not only cooperation but their overall wellbeing today and in the future. So threatening and punishing may scare your kids into following directions but that can harm your relationship and their self-worth. You’ve also probably noticed that those approaches don’t lead to long-term behavior change.

Teen Vaping, Nicotine and Cannabis Use: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Child

Experts

Challenges & Solutions

Rapid growth, exploration and risk taking are all part of teen development. Taking risks give teens a chance to test their abilities and learn more about themselves. Some risks, however, can be harmful and have lasting effects on your child’s health and well-being. 

Two of parents’ biggest concerns right now regarding teen health and safety are vaping and cannabis. Vaping has become one of the most popular forms of substance use among young people, despite the growing evidence of its health risks and harms. While nicotine is a common substance used by vaping teens, daily cannabis use in different forms is at a significant level. Whether your child has not tried these substances or has already begun to use or is using regularly, this workshop is for you. 

When talking about vaping, nicotine and cannabis with your child, it is helpful to know the myths and the facts. For example, your teen may say, “It’s harmless because it is natural,” or “It’s not addictive,” or “It doesn’t affect my thinking or my grades.” However, research shows that substance use can cause serious problems with learning, feelings, and health. It’s important for you to have informed conversations with your teen. Trust your gut and get the facts. Parent knowledge, communication, and monitoring can make a big difference in keeping your child safe.

  • Does your teen have trouble keeping track of school work?

  • Maybe they forget to write down assignments, don’t submit their work or even have trouble following directions? 

When kids have trouble keeping track of their stuff and keeping up with schoolwork we want to help.

Executive Function (EF) is a term we hear so often, but what exactly does it mean? This workshop will walk you through what executive function skills are and how they may be impacting your teen.

Understand and Support Your Neurodivergent Child: From Misbehavior to Stress Response

February 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Michelle Sebak Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is on purpose or even manipulation to gain or avoid something. This point of view is sadly common in families and even in schools. In order to correct the behavior we don’t want, we tend to “discipline” our children which commonly means consequences, time-outs or punishment. Even though largely outdated and sometimes harmful, most adults believe that these approaches “teach” children to behave in more appropriate or expected ways. 

In contrast, 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 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. Let’s work on this together.

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Susan Schaefer Susan Schaefer,M.Ed., M.A.T. Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

  • Does your teen have trouble keeping track of school work? 
  • Do they have a hard time staying organized, doing homework or managing their time
  • Maybe they forget to write down assignments, don’t submit their work or even have trouble following directions? 

When kids have trouble keeping track of their stuff and keeping up with schoolwork we want to help. But nagging, reminding, coaxing and punishing, you’ve probably already discovered, really don’t help and can cause harm to an already struggling teen. Your child may have issues related to executive function skills. 

Executive Function (EF) is a term we hear so often, but what exactly does it mean? This workshop will walk you through what executive function skills are and how they may be impacting your teen. We will also discuss how executive functions and ADHD as well as depression, anxiety and other challenges work hand-in-hand. We will offer evidence-informed strategies your teen can start implementing right away to improve academic performance.

Post Pandemic Parenting: You Can’t Hack Everyday Interactions that Really Matter to Your Child

Challenges & Solutions

The parent-child relationship is the most powerful mental health intervention known to humankind.  – Bessel van der Kolk, MD 

Learning loss, undeveloped social-emotional skills, soaring anxiety, depression and self-harm are among the many issues our children are facing. Post-pandemic parenting is not for the faint of heart. While you are struggling to maintain your own wellbeing, meet work demands and care for your family at the same time, your kids are dealing with challenges that are more intense than we have ever imagined. Where do you start and what really matters?

The good and bad news is that your everyday interactions with your child have a powerful influence on their emotional wellbeing. But what kinds of interactions really make a difference? And why do they matter?

This workshop highlights the nature of stress as it relates to your children, the impact of family conflict, and the power of everyday connection and joy. Without recognizing that certain behaviors tell a story about your child’s unmet needs or the mismatch between our expectations and our kids’ capacities, it’s easy to miss important signs and symptoms. Sometimes we even make things worse in our efforts to remedy the problems. Let’s do this together.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Are you a transgender parent wondering about how your gender identity may affect your child? 
  • Are you raising a transgender child and want to know more about how to support them? 

You are not alone. 

The rights and experiences of transgender people have been in the news for several years. But parents of kids who raise questions about their gender may still feel unclear about what kids need from their families as they wrestle with gender identity. Sometimes parents wonder if they cause this struggle. Is it just a phase? And parents may feel strong emotions of grief, confusion and sometimes even fear or anger. 

Parents who are transgender themselves face different but equally important challenges. How will it affect my children if I come out to them? Can it harm or confuse them in any way? In fact, studies indicate that most transgender parents report that their relationships are generally positive, including after coming out as transgender. There is also no evidence that having a transgender parent affects a child’s gender identity or sexual orientation, nor has any impact on other developmental milestones.

Clear communication, strong connection, and love and acceptance go a long way in all relationships. Join us for an in-depth conversation on trans parenting and parenting trans kids. Let’s do this together.
