When School Feels Hard

Beneath those words are often big feelings, unmet needs, or hidden challenges—and as parents, it’s not always clear how to help.In this honest and reassuring conversation, Peace At Home founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, and educator Erica Brentan, M.Ed., explore what’s really going on when school feels difficult—for kids and for parents. Together, they unpack the powerful role of social-emotional learning—the skills that shape how children manage emotions, build relationships, and navigate challenges—and why struggles at school are often less about academics and more about these foundational life skills. You’ll hear real parent questions about homework battles, school avoidance, friendship struggles, and motivation—and walk away with practical, research-informed strategies you can use right away. This conversation will help you shift from reacting to school stress… to understanding it—and responding in ways that build confidence, resilience, and connection.
