   Start the School Year Strong with Family Routines That Help Kids Thrive

   Some mornings, just getting everyone dressed, fed, and out the door with backpacks in hand can feel like a major accomplishment. Add homework, activities, screens, dinner, and bedtime, and family life can quickly start to feel like one long negotiation. The good news? Simple, predictable routines can make a surprisingly big difference. In this episode, Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, talks with social-emotional learning expert Erica Brentan, MEd, about how everyday family routines can reduce stress while helping kids build confidence, independence, self-regulation, and executive function skills. They explore practical ways to make mornings calmer, help kids decompress after school, take some of the struggle out of homework and bedtime, and gradually give children more responsibility as they grow. You'll also hear why something as ordinary as eating together regularly can offer meaningful opportunities for connection and support children's emotional well-being. And this isn't about creating a perfectly scheduled household. It's about finding predictable rhythms that work for your family—and adjusting them as your kids' needs change. Whether you're parenting an elementary schooler who needs lots of reminders, a middle schooler learning to manage more on their own, or a teenager whose schedule seems to change by the minute, you'll come away with realistic ideas for making daily life feel a little calmer and more connected. In this episode, you'll learn: Why predictable routines can help kids feel more secure and regulated How routines support executive function, independence, and school success Ways to make busy mornings less stressful How to create an after-school routine that includes time to decompress Strategies for homework, evenings, and bedtime Why family mealtimes can be an important opportunity for connection How chores and everyday responsibilities help children build competence Ways to adapt routines as kids become more independent How screen-free moments and one-on-one time can strengthen family relationships 👪 About Peace At Home Parenting We’re a team of 40+ parenting experts in child development, mental health, and education.

   Connected Kids: Break Screen Habits & Build Strong Families

   Screen time can become one of the biggest sources of tension in family life—but the goal doesn’t have to be finding the “perfect” number of hours or fighting over devices every day. In this episode, Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW, joins Aaron Weintraub, MS, and Tanika Eaves, PhD, LCSW, IMH-E® to explore a different way of thinking about technology: focusing less on fear and more on connection, development, and how kids are actually using their screens. The conversation emphasizes that children’s need for a secure relationship with caring adults remains important from infancy through adolescence. You’ll hear practical, compassionate ideas for reducing screen-related power struggles, including how to create routines and family agreements, protect sleep and screen-free downtime, make room for boredom and unstructured play, and help kids transition away from devices with less conflict. The experts also discuss why parents’ own technology habits matter—and how small moments of undivided attention can strengthen connection. One especially helpful reframe: think beyond “screen time” to “screen usage.” Making music, FaceTiming Grandma, or playing a game together aren’t developmentally equivalent to endlessly scrolling or hours of solo video game play, simply because they all happen on a screen. The bigger question is what technology is adding to—or crowding out of—your child’s life. You’ll learn how to: Reduce power struggles around turning screens off Build technology limits collaboratively instead of relying only on rigid rules Use routines and rituals to make transitions easier Protect sleep, quiet time, play, and family connection Consider your child’s age, development, needs, and actual screen usage Model healthier technology habits without expecting perfection Strengthen the parent-child connection that helps kids develop self-regulation over time Whether you’re parenting a preschooler who never wants the tablet to go away, a teen who seems permanently attached to their phone, or anything in between, this conversation offers a reassuring place to start. Progress, not perfection. Connection first. 👪 About Peace At Home Parenting We’re a team of 40+ parenting experts in child development, mental health, and education.

   Back-to-School Anxiety: Help Your Child Start the School Year with Confidence

   Back-to-school season can bring fresh notebooks, new routines…and a whole lot of worry. Will my child make friends? Like their teacher? Keep up with the work? What if they’re already saying they don’t want to go? In this episode, Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, talks with Dana Asby LaBranche, MA, MEd, about helping kids navigate the worries and uncertainty that come with starting a new school year. Whether your child is heading into a new classroom, making the leap to middle or high school, or facing another big school transition, you’ll hear practical ways to recognize anxiety and respond without accidentally adding to it. The conversation explores how parents can help kids feel safe while still building the confidence to face uncomfortable feelings and new experiences. You’ll learn how to open conversations about school worries, create routines that make transitions feel more manageable, and help your child build resilience instead of trying to make every anxious feeling disappear. Because confidence doesn’t mean your child never feels nervous. It grows when they discover, with your support, “I can handle this.” In this episode, you’ll learn: How back-to-school anxiety may show up in children Ways to talk about worries without making them bigger How your own anxiety can influence your child’s experience Simple ways to bring more optimism and connection into the transition How predictable routines can help kids feel safer Ways to support confidence while allowing kids to work through manageable challenges How to help your child approach a new school year with greater resilience 👪 About Peace At Home Parenting We’re a team of 40+ parenting experts in child development, mental health, and education.
