* determining realistic expectations for each child
* respect for adults

* resisting over-scheduling and over-indulgence

The Blessing Of A Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children

Meaningful things from Judaism to use for your children:

I came upon this book by accident, and I'm so glad that I did. It blends practical parenting with spiritual teachings from Judaism. It really resonates with me.

Parents!! Buy this book.:

If you are a parent, go out and buy this book. I am a spiritual counselor and have many clients with children. This is by far the best book for raising your children with some kind of spiritual intent, which is very lacking in our culture. You do not have to be Jewish to read this terrific book. Its message is profound.
