  1. Why Your Child Isn't Listening & What to Do to Make this Summer Easier

    May 21

    Why Your Child Isn't Listening & What to Do to Make this Summer Easier

    Do you ever feel like you’re repeating yourself all day long—only to be met with blank stares, pushback, or total silence? In this warm, practical conversation, Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, is joined by Viana Turcios-Cotto, PhD, and Aaron Weintraub, MS, to explore one of the most common parenting struggles: why kids don’t listen—and what parents can do instead of yelling, nagging, or escalating the power struggle. The truth is, children’s behavior is often less about defiance and more about development, stress, emotional regulation, and connection. When we understand what’s happening beneath the behavior, we can respond in ways that build cooperation instead of conflict. In this episode, you’ll learn simple, research-informed strategies to reduce daily battles, strengthen your relationship with your child, and create calmer routines at home—especially during the less-structured summer months. Whether you’re parenting a preschooler who ignores every request or a school-age child who pushes back on everything, this conversation offers compassionate tools that actually work in real family life. 👪 About Peace At Home Parenting  We’re a team of 40+ parenting experts in child development, mental health, and education.

    Support Your College Student's Mental Health

    Letting go isn’t easy—especially when your child heads off to college. Suddenly, you have less insight into their daily life, fewer ways to help, and a whole new set of worries about their well-being. In this honest and deeply reassuring conversation, Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, is joined by college mental health experts Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, and Jonathan Beazley, LMFT, to explore how parents can stay connected and supportive—while still honoring their young adult’s growing independence. The college years are a critical window for mental health, with many conditions first emerging during this stage of life. This discussion helps you understand what’s typical, what might be a red flag, and how to respond in ways that truly help. You’ll learn how to recognize early warning signs like changes in communication, class attendance, or social behavior—and why how you talk with your college student matters just as much as what you say. Most importantly, this conversation will help you shift from worry and guesswork to calm, confident support—so your child feels understood, not pressured, during one of the biggest transitions of their life. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: Recognize early signs your college student may be strugglingStay meaningfully connected—even when communication drops offStart conversations that invite openness instead of shutdownBalance support with independence (without becoming overbearing)Navigate privacy laws and prepare for emergencies before they happenRespond to serious concerns, including depression or suicidal thoughtsHelp your student access campus resources and build support systemsSupport your own emotional adjustment during this transition 👪 About Peace At Home Parenting  We’re a team of 40+ parenting experts in child development, mental health, and education.
