Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Marc Lehman Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

All teens are sad, anxious, irritable, or disrespectful at times. They may seem withdrawn or distant from time to time. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, persistent troubling behaviors may indicate a more serious problem. Without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent teens from reaching their full potential and may even indicate they are at risk of unsafe behavior or self-harm. 

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 actually declared concerning thoughts, you can help.

Your Child is Headed to College, Help Them Arrive Prepared

April 13, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST
Take This Workshop

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Marc Lehman Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

“You don’t know what you don’t know.” Most college-bound students, and their parents, know very little about what to expect after they arrive at school. It helps to be prepared for all new experiences, like dropping off their bags in their new room and meeting their roommate, to getting to their first class on-time, to encountering their first exam. You may be bringing your teen to a totally new climate and geography too. They will probably have to make all new friends and suddenly live communally with a lot of young people they don’t know.  No one talks with kids about:

  • The change in academic schedule where they transition from 7 or 8 hours in high school to 2 – 3 hours per day of college classes with an average of at least 2.5 hours of work daily to be done on their own. 
  • All the newfound freedom and lack of structure can contribute to freshmen attending their first week of being introduced to each class without realizing there will be a lot of work every week to pass their first exams. 

For many first-year college students, the dramatic number of new experiences coupled with poor self-care can result in heightened emotional stress and increased mental health issues. You will have to figure out your own new path and your role as parent. When do you lean in and when do you step back? Join us for this live interactive workshop where you can connect with other parents anticipating this new world and get answers from a seasoned clinician who has supported college freshmen across the country for years.

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman Ruth Freeman,LCSW

Challenges & Solutions

Do morning routines drive you a little crazy? Does trash only get taken out after a zillion reminders? Stop the nagging, complaining, and punishing. Consider positive discipline and the practical strategies that support children to be more responsible. Parents who focus on the negative tend to have less time to meaningfully connect with their children. There are many positive discipline parenting tools that will help to create smoother family routines. These same tools will also help your children to be more responsible. Join other parents to learn how rules, routines and positive discipline instead of punishment will lead to a better connection with your children.

Expert

Peace at Home Parenting Founder and Expert Ruth Freeman 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.

We all want our kids to grow up to be capable, competent people who can find their own way in the world. But how do you help them get there? How do you know when tweens and teens are ready to do things on their own? 

A strong positive relationship with your tween or teen is the basis of cooperation and helping them stay safe. Parents often think that if they find the just right punishment, their kids will cooperate. This myth can get in the way of building a positive connection with your child and keeping it strong even as they grow more independent. This class will help you recognize the importance of the parent-child connection to help teens stay safe as they explore the world.

School refusal, also known as school avoidance, is a misunderstood and complex challenge.

Child and adolescent therapists tend to differ widely in their approaches to including parents in treatment. However it can make a difference when you understand your child’s goals in therapy, adjust parenting approaches based on consideration of your child’s challenges and recognize when your child is or isn’t 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 will highlight some best practices for parents who have children in therapy and answer any and all questions you may have about your child’s therapy experience.

Parents are reeling from recent acts of violence and now thinking about Texas families who lost young ones attending school where they should be safe. You may be feeling overwhelmed with fear, sinking into despair, totally disconnected as losses mount up, or shifting among all of these sensations.

  • Recognize the role that parents play in helping children feel safe

Does any of this sound like your child? 

  1. Clinging, crying and/or tantrums when you separate 
  2. Excessive shyness, avoiding social situations 
  3. Constant worry 
  4. Avoiding situations or places because of fears 
  5. Complaints of frequent stomach aches or headaches 
  6. Sudden and frequent panic attacks 

Your child may be struggling with anxiety. And you may feel frustrated and helpless. You are not alone. One in three children will experience an anxiety disorder before adulthood. Unless treated, many will grow up to be anxious adults.

Drugs & Alcohol: Let’s Talk

Talking with your kids about drugs and alcohol can be scary. Ideally, it’s an ongoing conversation rather than one big “talk.” The good news is you can prepare yourself by planning ahead to focus on the benefits of knowledge and not on the negative consequences of behavior. It will also help to avoid assumptions, talk about expectations, assume good intentions, share resources, and commit to remain approachable no matter what. Hopefully, this can be a learning process for you and your child.

Getting through daily tasks – during the work week and on weekends – can sometimes feel challenging.  Young children are not always ready to cooperate.  Developing positive routines that support learning can be enjoyable for you and your child.  Cooperation may happen more often when the emotional climate is positive and routines are consistent.

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 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.

Help Your Child Make Friends: When to Lean In and When to Let Go

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.

All children are sad, anxious, irritable, or aggressive at times. Occasionally kids find it challenging 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 just doesn’t seem like their usual self, or has actually declared concerning thoughts, you can help.

Many students hold a “fixed mindset,” which may hold them back from trying new things or reaching their full potential. They may believe they should only do things at which they are excellent. The way families and educators give feedback can reinforce a frame of mind that supports those limiting beliefs or the confidence to try new experiences. Learn about the language you can use to support courage and independence in your student. You will also gain skills in coaching your child back to confidence after a failure.
