About this Workshop

Raising boys is a journey filled with beautiful chaos. It’s the boundless energy, the muddy sneakers, the unexpected tenderness, and the big, stormy feelings that can leave you wondering if you’re getting any of this right. You see the good kid you know is in there, but sometimes it gets lost behind a wall of defiance, a sudden outburst, or the frustrating silence of a slammed door.

You’re not alone. In a world full of noise and distractions, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing your influence. You might be asking yourself:

  • How do I handle his endless energy and aggression without crushing his spirit?
  • How can I get him to listen without yelling, threatening, or giving in?
  • How do I stay his most trusted guide when the pull of his friends gets stronger every day?

This workshop isn’t about finding the perfect technique to control behavior. It’s about something much deeper and more powerful: strengthening your connection. Because when your bond is secure, everything else gets easier. You become the safe harbor he can always return to, no matter how stormy the seas get.

Join Peace at Home Experts Aaron Weintraub, MS and Amy Alamar, Ed.D. as they share proven strategies and tools you can use every day to create connection and nurture resilient young men.  We look forward to hearing your stories and challenges and coming together to share the journey.  If you have a specific question or topic you’d like to share with Aaron and Amy ahead of time, please email Solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Look past challenging behaviors to find the good kid you know is in there, even when it’s hard.
  • Serve as a calm, confident anchor for your son, even when he’s overwhelmed by big, stormy emotions.
  • Decode your son’s challenging behavior (like aggression, defiance, or whining) as a signal of an unmet need or a lagging skill.
  • Use connection first to make your son feel seen and understood before you give a direction or set a limit.
  • Hold firm, compassionate boundaries by validating his feelings (“It’s okay to be mad”) while confidently guiding his actions (“It’s not okay to hit”).
  • Confidently “circle back” to mend the connection after a conflict, modeling how to make things right.
  • Proactively nurture your bond to remain the primary source of guidance and values in your son’s life.
