The Blessing of a Skinned Knee (Paperback)

Wendy Mogel?s application of Judaism to the complex art of parenting is simple and direct, framed by the notion of ?blessings, ? such as gratitude, self control, and respect. Using teachings from the Torah and Talmud, she explores modern parenting issues revolving around the emphasis parents place on children being over-achievers or special instead of just ordinary. The pleasures of day-to-day tasks, each child?s unique personality, and the significance of spirituality in daily life are also aspects of parenting raised by Mogel in this thoughtful work.
