Homework, bedtime, and getting out the door: Turning power struggles into problem-solving

As the excitement of the new school year fades, the daily demands can begin to take a toll on both parents and kids. If you often find yourself in a tug-of-war over daily tasks like homework, bedtime, or getting out the door, this interactive workshop can help. We’ll start by identifying what really drives power struggles—and how our own actions as parents can sometimes keep them going. Then, you’ll learn practical tools to reduce conflict and build

stronger relationships at home. Through hands-on activities and group problem-solving, you’ll leave with strategies you can put into practice right away.

Please note: This workshop is a private space for adults to reflect and brainstorm about parenting, so we ask that children please not attend.

Participants will:

• Discover the root causes of power struggles

• Learn and practice respectful, effective tools to replace conflict with connection and cooperation
