With Understanding Comes Wisdom (Mishlei 8:14) אֲנִ֥י בִ֜ינָ֗ה לִ֣י גְבוּרָֽה
Welcome to our Parenting Forums, a safe space where you can learn, explore, seek and share advice with Jewish parents worldwide on the widest range of issues.
"A Guide on the Side vs. A Sage on the Stage"
While I am the host and forum leader, I am a very strong believer in peer-to-peer learning, so, by all means, please don't wait around for me to respond. Rather please join the discussion if you can add value to the shared learning. In fact; I propose that a fellow parent's life experience in dealing with the issue you raise, can offer a perspective that I cannot.
You can peruse our parenting forum as a guest, but you will need to register to post new topics, questions or comments.
When registering, we strongly encourage you to use a screen name (need not be your own) and use a picture or icon for your profile — this makes it much easier to follow the give-and-take in the comment threads.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since all questions and comments post immediately, I respectfully ask all our members to share supervision of our parenting forum by flagging any spam, irrelevant or inappropriate comments, which will then be screened and removed by our website administrator.
Finally; I ask all members to be respectful at all times even or especially when you disagree with each other.
To quote Rav Yitzchok Hunter zt'l, "Chalukei day'os, avada" (differences of opinion, certainly!), aber pirud levavos, kainmol nisht (but separation/strife between hearts, never."
Again, welcome aboard and I look forward to sharing our learning journey together.
