Full Description
“I love them so much. How can they get me so angry?”
“I
can’t stand it when my kids fight. How can I make them stop?”“I
want to be a good parent. I want to bring up my children according to
Torah ideals. But sometimes it seems I just want to get through the day
and get the kids into bed.”
In this
long-awaited revised and expanded edition of her very popular Effective
Jewish Parenting, Miriam Levi provides conscientious Jewish
parents everywhere with the tools that can make their job easier and
elevate the whole family’s behavior in the process.
A renowned
lecturer and writer, Mrs. Levi has conducted parenting workshops for two
decades, in Israel, England, Canada, and the United States. As many
have before, the reader of this new edition will be happily surprised to
see how quickly profound changes can be wrought in the home with small
modifications of a parent’s outlook and approach.
With clarity
and frankness, Mrs. Levi cuts through to the essentials, forgoing the
confusing morass of conflicting dogmas about child-raising that can
baffle even the most intelligent, well-intentioned parent. For those who
want to expand and refine the skills they learned from her first
volume, this new, expanded More Effective Jewish Parenting will
serve as a wise, practical guide. For parents of a new generation not
yet familiar with Miriam Levi’s common-sense approach, this new edition
will be a welcome revelation.
Yes -- it is possible to
change long-ingrained habits. It is possible to discipline your
children with love. And it is possible to become the kind of
parent you want to be, one whose behavior is consistent with Torah
principles.
In response to popular demand, she has added new
chapters on “The Difficult Child,” “Education for Torah Living,” and
“The Teenage Years.” For anyone who realizes that parenting is a
privilege, and our children a sacred trust, this volume will be a
reaffirmation of faith and an indispensable companion.
