How we par­ent mat­ters, and we can all be bet­ter par­ents by work­ing at it step by step. Informed by Jew­ish val­ues, Meg Akabas builds on this phi­los­o­phy, pro­vid­ing easy-to-imple­ment strate­gies in once-a-week chap­ters that you can read in just a few min­utes. Each chap­ter pro­vides a salient piece of advice on one spe­cif­ic top­ic such as: respect, self-con­trol, coop­er­a­tion, and sib­ling rela­tions. Rather than over­whelm with psy­cho­log­i­cal stud­ies and the­o­ries, this book shows busy par­ents how to make attain­able and effec­tive changes in their par­ent­ing that will help them raise chil­dren who are com­mit­ted, respon­si­ble and valu­able mem­bers of their fam­i­ly and the larg­er Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty. Writ­ten for par­ents of young chil­dren (birth to age 10), 52 Weeks of Par­ent­ing Wis­dom offers real guid­ance you can use with your chil­dren today.
