The Power of Words:
•name-don't shame...name the action that you wish to correct but never shame your child
•Don't over praise...Praise should be deserved, not lavished
•Criticism and discipline are not the same...give direction not criticism
•Mirror your child's words and moods..."you seem upset", "you sound angry"-show empathy

With the seemingly insurmountable pressures placed on families
today, many parents lack the spiritual foundation and practical knowledge to
chart a clear-cut course in child-rearing. Parents question whether nurturing
their children’s souls is even possible in the fast-paced materialistic culture
in which we live. Utilizing the insight that springs from her knowledge of
Torah wisdom, her personal experiences and the experiences of those she has
counseled, Slovie Jungreis-Wolff, a longtime parenting coach and advisor to
young couples and families teaches in detail how to approach the entire gamut
of issues, with a special emphasis on strengthening the child’s morality and
character.
Parents will learn how to:
• Instill simchas hachayim, "true joy," in their children
• Value chessed, kindness, in a self-absorbed world
• Create a mikdash me’at, a home filled with calm and reflection
• Teach children gratitude and appreciation
• And much more…
From discipline to sibling rivalry to effective communication skills, this book
offers unique concepts and pragmatic ideas that can be understood and applied
to both Jewish and non-Jewish households.
Isn't it time you gave thought to your child's soul?

Four points a child wished her parents knew about fighting.
At the conclusion of a lecture on shalom bayit – how to create peace in one’s home, I asked the audience if they had any comments or questions. A hand shot up in the back. It was the teenaged girl who had come to help set up the room for the program.
“Everything you said tonight is true,” she said. “Especially what you said about the fighting. If only my parents were here to hear your words. I get so upset, sometimes even frightened when there is all this arguing going on in our house. I wish I could tell this to my parents. So all of you sitting here tonight, please take this message home. ”
Here, then, is this young teen’s wish; perhaps her parents may be reading this article. There are too many kids out there who cannot express themselves but hope that perhaps their parents can come to a better place of understanding.
