"The Rebbe's Chinuch Language - Mommy Edition"

In Episode 33 of the Optimizing Mothers Podcast, host Mrs. Sara Blau sits down with Mrs. Risa Pewzner for a powerful conversation about chinuch through the lens of the 12 Pesukim, not as slogans, but as a way of truly seeing our children for who they are.

What do we really want our children to know about themselves?

Our children are not defined by their struggles or their mistakes. They are a nefesh Elokis, pure, good, and deeply connected to Hashem. They are not slaves to their yetzer hara. It is something external to them, not who they are. They always have the ability to choose differently.

Together, they explore the words our children need to hear again and again: that they are Hashem's soldiers, that Hashem is with them in every challenge, watching them, believing in them, and proud of their efforts, even when it's hard.
