About this Workshop

As parents, we’re surrounded by advice—from doctors, teachers, therapists, and online experts. But sometimes, all that input can leave us more uncertain than ever. How do you know when to follow professional advice—and when to balance that with listening to your own instincts?

Watch a previously hosted conversation that will help you feel more confident in your parenting choices. Together, we’ll explore:

  • How to recognize when your “gut feeling” is worth following.
  • When professional advice may not be the right fit for your child.
  • Real-life examples from children’s and teens’ mental health and neurodiversity challenges.
  • Simple strategies to balance expert input with what you know about your child.

You’ll leave with tools to sort through conflicting recommendations, ask the right questions, and advocate with confidence.

Reach out if you have a specific question or challenge. Email Solutions@Peaceathomeparenting.com, and we’ll send you tailored links to live workshops, on-demand resources, podcasts, blogs and more. And if you need personalized support, you can connect with an expert for one-on-one support too.
