by Wendy Mogel

The Blessing of a Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Every parent hopes their child will be self-reliant, optimistic, and well mannered, a challenge in our current culture. Clinical psychologist and Jewish educator Wendy Mogel distills the ancient teachings of the Torah, the Talmud, important Jewish thinkers, and contemporary psychological insights into nine blessings that address key parenting issues such as:

x determining realistic expectations for each child
x respect for adults
x chores
x mealtime battles
x coping with frustration
x developing independence and self-control
x resisting over-scheduling and over-indulgence


The Blessing of a Skinned Knee guides us toward effective, enlightened parenting in an increasingly speedy, material, and competitive age.
