Family Engagement That Works: A Peace at Home Parenting Solution
And most of what they’re trying to manage starts outside the classroom:
Student mental health: anxiety and emotional struggles that make learning harder
Student behavior: disruptions that eat into instructional time
Academic success: slipping as both of those take their toll
Burnout: students, families and staff stretched thin
A weak home-school connection: parents and educators alike are doing their best but often lack the time, tools and formal training in child development or family coordination. As a result, efforts remain disconnected.
Educators get the child-development training missing from their formal preparation. Families get expert guidance from prenatal through young adult. Both share a common language for how kids grow, learn and succeed.
When Peace at Home got involved, families and educators started working from the same playbook — and progress started to stick.
The district launched a custom, branded portal for staff and families and made Peace at Home part of how the schools already run.
Leadership encouraged all staff to participate, and the Peace at Home team was fully immersed in staff meetings and training.

I loved her breakdown of how to speak to our children and address their emotions, not just the behavior.
I really appreciate all of the validation alongside the tips. The love with which Peace at Home Parenting approaches these topics is just as important as the great information that is shared.
Topics ranged from co-parenting kids with ADHD and autism to anxiety and sensory needs in young children.
