okay everybody very excited sitting in
yush the holiest city the holiest place
in the world in yush right at right near
the Ki in the holiest building in the
holiest room of the holiest building in
aspa asa.com let me spell it for you
it's O HP I Za
a.com it's an unbelievable
organization a lot of interviews and
talks and stuff you if you go to the
website it's all about kir of bringing
back our brothers and sisters to our
beautiful beautiful yish kit and also
I'd like to thank before I begin Torah
anytime and
kazak and we're going to start our
lecture today today we're going to be
talking about I have a few people over
here in the room we will be talking
about New Age
parenting New Age parenting wow okay
what does that mean we have a mitz in
the T the MIT the t is that we have to
teach our children to bring them to be
successful beings to be healthy
physically emotionally and very very
connected with the to they should know
and they should grow up capable and
being people on this world as it says so
what do we say we say it three times a
day we
say we need to teach T our children
all of us the greatest pleasure the
greatest thing a person could ever do in
their life is bringing our children
close to Hashem why because first of
it's a Mitzvah and second because if
this is something that we admire so much
this whole lifestyle our afterlife style
it's everything it's our whole Essence
and we love it we want to make sure we
want to share it with our children that
they should also they too should have a
successful beautiful life
to be able to fulfill this Mitzvah of
raising our children happy healthy and
from
ultimately we need to constantly revamp
and
rechange and redo the system the way we
of course it has to be based on our old
the way we got it over from generation
to generation but
theara the way the world is going on
it's very very different now than it
ever was
so we constantly have to think and
replan and try to see how we can get our
children to be interested in our
lifestyle rather than in the lifestyle
which is seemingly so much more exciting
the Goa world the Western
cultures our children are seeing a black
and white gamorra everything seems like
repetition every shabas comes again you
go to sh three times a day if they don't
know what it is all about it seems very
it's repetitive it becomes boring and
the world out there there is very
seemingly very exciting keeps on
changing different colors new Styles and
there's so much going on there's so much
noise let's call it in the world so much
distraction and we are trying to bring
our children to be connected to
the so how do we do it in
now in 2024
2025 I think that we need to go back a
tiny bit of History what happened in the
last 20 or 30 years where the world
became very very attuned to therapy
everybody became psychologically driven
a lot of speeches are given around the
world people are going to therapy people
are healing which is a great thing it's
an awesome thing people are more aware
of their feelings our children are are
born already into this world and they
they feel they're very sensitive and
they're very in tune in all their
feelings which is a great
thing we also learned the last 20 30
years that we need to be extra loving
and caring to our children it can't be
anymore the old way the way it used to
be in certain certain eras and certain
periods throughout history where people
felt that the only way to connect the
children is to be strict and to set
boundaries and to be uh uh you know like
a helicopter parent or we call it like
to be on top of them the whole time
making sure that they don't get exposed
or they or they don't they don't get
distracted so we had rules in the house
so what's now what's happening now where
we up to now the world is changing back
and forth I want to start by first
saying that we need to bring back the
parents into the house let me
explain a lot of people became very
confused because we were young and we
were raised a certain way we were told
we got a patch sometimes a smack if we
didn't behave with certain things and we
got punished for certain things and
suddenly we're listening to so many
lectures all around the world no the
kids today are more sensitive they more
tuned to their feelings and people are
more sensitive so you have to be extra
careful extra nice but what's happening
is so many books came out in the last
few years describing how the world
became the children are becoming
narcissistic they become entitled so
what's the balance what's the balance of
giving endless love to your children
giving boundaries in a in an endless
loving way without being strict and and
turning them away from you away from our
lifestyle what the balance and I think
that the first thing is we need to claim
back of being parents that we
are the ones that are given the m of
taking care of our children so let me
let me present in this way so let's say
I come
home I see my child doing something he's
hitting his younger brother I don't know
pulling his face he's doing something
and so I have two options go natural
into into my the way the way I was
raised I'll stop screaming what are you
doing you know or I'll say ah just don't
and the kid will
continue and then they they try to push
boundaries you tell them to get dressed
they don't want to get dressed they try
there constantly coming up different
things they're not they're not listening
because they know they're not going to
get punished so what what could we do if
we understand that we are the boss at
home we are the boss I'm the boss in my
house my wife is the boss in our house
we are the boss in our house the
children know that my parents are the
ones that are are given the Mitzvah okay
they need to know that way but I'm just
saying it to us given the Mitzvah of
being the children of raising our
children we need to know that this is I
am the boss in this house and I am the
one that's deciding when my 5-year-old
kids should go to bed now I'm a good
boss I'm not going to be like the old
days the old boss that screams and yells
and I only have to say that I'm the boss
never tell your children I'm the boss of
this house and I'm telling you what to
do no you have to think it and really
know it I'm giving you back I'm giving
you back ownership their parents I'm
giving you back ownership you are the
owners of your kids until they get older
until they move on to life until they
have their own to make until then you
have the obligation to run your house
your children are not running your house
I see people in the streets talking to
the little kids I see they saying do you
want to go into the carriage do you want
to go to sleep what what since when does
a parent ask a child do you want to go
to sleep so in the old days you would
say go to bed right now okay that's not
good so what's the good way the good way
is to say I want you to go to bed I'll
give you you have 10 minutes to go you
see the clock when the numb is going to
be straight 10:00 you have to be not
10:00 7:00 whatever time the kids have
to be to bed you have to be in your bed
do you want to have this blanket with
you you want to put on this pajamas or
that pajamas but that's it you're not
giving them an option if they should go
to bed you're not giving your child an
option for things that it's not
according to their age because then they
don't feel comfortable they don't feel
stable anyway they start misbehaving
even more so we are the parents we are
great parents we are awesome people we
are the the most loving parents in the
world we we think our kids and we listen
to them and listen more than any time
before obviously I think we need to talk
about it later a little more about
listening that's great part of of of
parenting but I first I want to talk
about Authority remember that you have
authority over your kids obviously until
they turn teenagers till they turn a
certain age I hear people saying can you
please can you know I I I think that
it's a good time do you no Mommy I want
to no you come out and you give them
what you feel is the right thing for
them and then you just do it in a very
nice way but it's without a doubt so
automatically if you know that you are
the boss you are given the authority
you're the one that Hashem gave the
obligation to take care of these kids of
their emotional physical needs and
spiritual needs you are the one that's
telling them you don't ask your little
kid do you want to go to school today of
course they say no you have to bribe
them now and now you have to start it
it's just it's it's deafening it's like
it's hurting my ears I going to the
stores and I listen to to mothers
talking to their kids or parents they're
so scared of the kids it's not their
fault because what's happening the last
few years in therapy was starting to to
to pull back to the to the Other Extreme
and that's that's creating very
unhealthy children so we need to know
that we are the ones that are in charge
of the future of our kids and we are in
charge in our house this is my house I
decide what to do once you have a
teenager total different conversation
maybe we'll bring up that that
conversation soon
but the second thing is I believe that
one of the things that we need to start
doing much more nowadays is called um
giving smart choices for the children we
teach them how to make choices let's
look at us adults we have more choices
now in the world when we go shopping
then we ever had you go into a a grocery
you want to buy ketchup you have to make
a decision between 25 companies and
sizes and different prices and different
labels like even even minute small
things like that we constantly are
making choice decisions decisions so
there's so many options in the world so
many options of candies in the world
every type of cereal when I was a kid
like three it was you remember was rice
Casp and I don't know and honeycomb and
and and Cheerios like maybe two more
that's it now you have like 30 types we
constantly making choices millions of
choices every single
day how can we train our children to
make smart choices if we incorporate
Incorporated together in so let's say if
if my wife gets puts sleep my 8-year-old
son or and she tells him listen sad in
20 minutes whatever this is the time you
have to be in bed she doesn't say please
do you care are you ready to go to bed
no 20 minutes you have to go to bed but
you don't say like in a strict way your
mannerism your feelings the softness has
to be the most soft and yummy and loving
way it's our children what do you think
it is but it shouldn't be with a doubt
your children shouldn't feel even The
Vibes should feel that my parent my
parent
is telling me that I need to go to bed
now with all the love in the world and
then they wake up in the morning and
they want to get dressed so you want you
come to your child and when they seven
years old eight years old you give them
an option you say sha my dear sadik you
could put on one of these three shirts
today which one do you want to put on
that's okay you don't have to do like
the olden days of being an extreme like
everybody puts on this color today I
remember we were Civ five brothers in a
row and we all had to match actually I
loved it was cute but it's like and one
child is always that one kid that says
no I want to get green corduroy pants
today I don't want to have the blue one
so you know so a parent tells a child
I'm giving you options you could wear
this one you can wear that one you could
do the other one but he says no but I
want that in the closet no I didn't give
you that as an option I gave you a b or
c so as they get older you give them
more choices and more options to make
I'll give you another example let's it's
called P so why do you give I I usually
give money for my kids I make up before
for y we sit my wife we make a decision
how much money we're giving per child
for a to go shopping okay let's say we
make up
$35 we got to a toy store and with tell
my kids you could choose whatever you
want whatever fits into your $35 you
could buy so what am I going to do so
one son they're going to run around the
whole you know every child their own
nature one kid is going to look for the
piano on the other I need to add $5 take
off $3 one kid buys a lot of small
things that fits into 35 so what I'll do
is I'll tell my kids you could buy
whatever you want but this choice that
you're making is not going to last too
long it's very exciting but if you want
you can buy it and another kids you know
I'll help them I'll give them advice and
then back off and let them let them buy
something I'm not going to force them
say you're buying something you're going
to regret it and then you can't buy it
you have to buy something I let them
what happens is a week later the toy
breaks then they learned that on their
own choice their body their system is
learning the subconscious is is getting
attuned to makeing to to to to living
the consequence of their own choice so
then he still sees his other brother
still running around with his toy with
his remote car for a few weeks later and
his toys already broken I think that's a
very good lesson for a child a child is
learning on their own skin on their own
choices that they make as they get older
we give them more choices to make more
options more you know you can't control
your kids forever but what's happening
is when the child feels my parents are
giving me choices and the child feels
The Vibes
that my parents are solid they are the
ones that are giving me the the the
options they are the ones that are
telling me to go to bed they're the ones
are telling me to go to school the child
feels safer so when they get something
this big strong powerful parent that I
have mother or father or both they are
kind to me if my parents are Wimp And
they're not sure the kids ask oh can we
go tonight to the mall and the F I'm not
sure let's see I don't know what you
should we go we shouldn't go you know
you should always say we're going to
discuss it or we're going to decide and
we're going to let you know if we could
go tonight or not you could say the most
again in the most warm way ever you
don't have to say it in a in a cold like
strict manner you're not you know you
have to say it very lovingly but the
actual Authority that you have because
you are actually their owner you're
actually the one that's deciding what's
good for them that in itself is giving
them the feeling that they need to
listen
they need to listen so let's go back to
choices a little bit other than just an
example of of of day-to-day parenting I
think that I see teenagers and young
adults that I work with a lot throughout
my life I realize they are so confused
when it comes to decision- making should
I spend the money here should I not
spend here how I then we need to we're
living in a way in the world you know
you know I think Twain said someone said
we're living in a world of such abundant
yet it feels like such a lack like we're
like always missing but at the end of
the day we're living in a world of
abundance we have everything around us
the the poorest person today walks into
a grocery which the richest person a
thousand years ago couldn't have in
their Wildest Dreams every type of food
and Nash whatever you could think of or
or other than food anything suits shirts
you ties there 20,000 types colors of
ties you could buy so we're living in a
world that everything there's options
and choices so we need to start teaching
choices to our children
now I want to bring it to a little
deeper conversation about
choices choices of how they want to live
their life I think that the olden days
the olden days few just couple of years
ago before the New Age came along
children were not given an option you
grew up kidish you grew up lsh you grew
up yeshivish you grew up mod modern
Orthodox you grew up within are so many
types and all types it was a very nor
wasn't given that that there's no option
for my child to to to just just see Y in
a different way it's just a or or even
life you know like the whole family is
doctors every child has to be a doctor
the father is is a is a physician and
then the child has to be now what is
that it it it was like a certain thing
that it was a certain Pride or it was a
belief that we all have the same genes
and we all the same type and everybody's
to look the same and everybody's to
practice the same and if you zi went you
know wore this type of hat you have to
wear that type of hat I think and I hope
that in New Age parenting we all realize
that every child is born in different
natures and different different incling
inclinations different styles they had
different friends different Natures
different nurtures I I've seen I don't
know if the world change but the way I
see the world there so many we have I
always say that I have my my children
are every type of child one child is a
grape and the other child is a is is a
fig touch different kids who decided
that every child belongs in the same
school every child and every family
needs to go through the same Elementary
the same High School the same it doesn't
work that way we see it's not working
and the ones that are trying to make it
work that way that if it happens great
good for you but if it doesn't go along
with it understand what a child needs if
we are not going to be flexible and
realize that each child is a different
shavit look at our yanini yanini our
patriarch he's the one that had this TW
12 tribes in where he he gave a mission
statement before he passed away he G he
told Ren what he needs to do what he
needs to improve what his mission in
this world is shim totally different Ley
you got to work you got to learn all the
he gave them their particular Mission
whatever they need to accomplish in this
world you would think a regular person
passes away from the world the older man
and he has all his kids around him if
he's lucky and he passes away like a
sadic and all he has time to say goodbye
what is every every person gonna say All
My Children you should all be from you
should always live in Shalom you should
always be together and you should always
you know never fight and okay but that's
that's not what yakini did he said every
child you excel in whatever the max you
could in this way and that way and the
other way I think that this is this is
our role modeling is our is
yini dealt with them and dealt with as
and he told as of bring me he was a
hunter so he was connecting to him
through hunting he was telling him go
bring me food and Rashi says I was so
immersed and indulged in different types
of stakes all just to connect to as to
bear and and and to give him all the
love in the world and hopefully one day
he'll he'll make a smart choice of
coming back which eventually happened
that was that was the way the way was
connecting to him and then to he totally
different he was learning with him he
took a
total we need to understand that if we
want to continue the world the to
continue and the world is changing
rapidly until M comes we need to
constantly be more flexible and what
flexibility comes in is more
understanding that every child is a
different shavit every child is
different and whatever works for them
not what works for my for my family for
my ego for for my tradition what I
decided it's one thing we all want our
children to be to be successful and on
the physically physical level then on
spiritual level and the only way to do
that is to understand one child needs to
go to to to Yesa the other child needs
to work the other child whatever works
for them that they should Excel the
maximum according to their nature and
their n what they went through this is
something that we need to really
hopefully that most people are already
doing that and and and if not try to
really really understand that I want to
share with you something that I once
heard it's partially from barel
wi the reab of of uh the reab of Cl to
Jewish history and then a combination
with a few other things I just want to
say a certain statement that I put
together from a few he said that in the
times of
the don't quote me exactly the numbers
because I hate to misquote because the
point that I want to bring out is more
important than the actual numbers so if
he said different numbers it's
okay he said in the times of the there
were about 11 million Jews around the
world according to the
Chinese history what they know they
they're keeping track already five I
don't know 4,000 years according to that
in the time of the MD when we hadd they
had about 24 million Jews so we had 11
million Jews and they had 24 million
Jews now we have just about 11 million
Jews I think and Chinese have one and a
half billion people Chinese have much
less babies than we do that's for sure
we have a Mitzvah to have children we
have lot families and we are still 11 we
cannot think what I'm thinking we cannot
think that
we cannot say that we were all murdered
and killed and and and like throughout
throughout G 2,000 years being in Exile
that we got that a billion Jews were
killed yeah six million Jews by the
Holocaust programs a few places F
Inquisition there weren't we didn't have
that many that many casualties what
where did all most of the Eden
go the sad news is that most of theen
went off they went bye-by they left the
fold it started off right with the time
of mdash right after that and then then
you had the people that went with you
know that became Christians eventually
with him and then he had the the S and
the karum and throughout the generations
and the most recent one was the was the
hula which is The Enlightenment movement
they they they took away millions of
Eden out of the F totally totally left
yish kite throughout the generations
that's a very sad news but the good news
is that nowadays there's so much in this
very building that we're in the amount
of knowledge we have and the and the
information we have that anybody that
really wants to come and listen and and
figure out his Judaism we have
everything in front of him like
everything is prepared for him from the
from communities the kids that are
leaving they're not really leaving
they're just in pain and we know it it's
proven we all know that the children
that are leaving are the ones that are
in pain they're just not able to fit
into the mold that we set for them
because we decided that all the children
need to be a certain type A Certain
style a certain hat a certain School and
this is exactly what's pushing out so
many of our kids and this is something
that cannot continue this is something
that we need to change I'm very involved
in a few organizations that are training
parents how to how to keep these
children that left to fall totally at
least seemingly from the outside to keep
them in the famili to be part of the
Mish because one day they're going to be
healed from their pain they're going to
come back to the most beautiful awesome
thing in the world which is living like
a yid so throughout these trainings that
we're giving I've been all around the
world through and different
organizations many different
organizations that have more and more
because we're realizing that the kids
today that are leaving the fall that're
falling out of our system is not because
they are they're some kind of
philosophical you know thing that that's
pushing them off and they they they
figured out that atheism is the right
that's not their issue they're leaving
because they were actually pushed out of
our system they pushed start of our
because they they couldn't handle the
way the way we said it for them you have
to go to Camp you have to go to school
you have to go to Yesa at this age you
have to sit from morning toight and
learn you have to you know it works for
a lot of kids which is great our you
know our schools are awesome but a
parent we parents I'm here to empower
you us the parents to understand that if
we want our children to be successful we
need to understand when they young
already try to which kid is made to go
through the whole school I've had so
many people telling me I work with teens
all my life they tell me I sitting in
school morning tonight was torture I
couldn't wait I was looking at the clock
every five minutes felt like a year that
kid has or learning disabilities or or
they're just not whatever it is the ADHD
or it doesn't even have to have ABC
they're just simply it just doesn't fit
for them they're just not in the right
place or they're just having you know
the different anxieties or different
things that are in their way and that's
not that's keeping them from from from
from following along in school but us
parents the moment we see that our child
is not working along we have to really
figure out who said this school is for
him maybe it's just for my older
son my next son it doesn't work maybe
it's not for my daughter you know there
are this has to I I I would love to see
a a world where all of us all of our
families are where I could ask someone
where which school do you send to your
daughter your daughters he would say oh
depends which one this daughter I sent
to this school the other daughter here
this one and that daughter is working
this boy he's working half a day he's
learning half a day my other son is sing
away he's learning a whole day he's in
and he's like you know it has to start
being that way we can't we you know we
institutionalize yish kite into a a
conveyor belt system where every cookie
has to come out the same like a cookie
cutter and and what's happening is a lot
of a lot of the cookies are falling off
they're just not making it so I'm not
here to change the cookie cutter systems
I'm here to tell you that there are many
different cookie cutters
and make sure your child is going onto
the onto the C Bel where they could
Excel where they could be in their life
it's it's it's something that's that
it's it's obvious but we need to start
actually implementing it and
understanding that it's a given that all
my children if you have five kids are
the same one kid different it's okay you
don't need to it's okay this kid needs a
different school and you could tell that
child nothing wrong with you you're a
healthy person you're going to grow up
to be I don't know who but you need to
know
that
I find that this school is going to be
better for you you'll Excel more over
here and that's why you here not because
you're worse or
better I think the next thing we need to
do we spoke about the last 20 years a
lot about loving and loving our kids you
need to give them love and love and it's
so true there's nothing more important
than giving love I know my
father he just passed away a few weeks
ago my dear father he loved me he never
said the word I love you never and it
never bothered me I always knew he loved
me and then I have some siblings that
are they were upset he never said I love
you and then kids today you need to tell
them I love you it's not enough that
they feel they just don't you need to
say it so it's true so that's where the
world came we need to realize that we
need to you know touch our kids and say
hi and give them a hug and and and and
and tell them how much you love them but
I want to say new age is you need to say
something even more than loving your
children is believing in them when we
need to believe in our children we need
to tell them I believe in you you you
have
such you you I can't wait to see what
you're going to be in the world you have
so much to offer and the world needs
every type of ye every type of person in
the world so one kid who excelling and
learning is able to learn by lunch and
at night you get tell the world is
waiting for you to be the next you're
going to be the next time great if
that's the kid that's the type no
problem the other kid you can say you
are going to run organizations that are
going to shake the world world you such
a good heart you have you have
management skills you have you're able
to to run a program you're going to or
you're going to make so much money I see
you you have you have the ability to
tell your kids a thousand times how much
you believe in them and they can't wait
to see how they're going to go it's even
more important than how much you love
them obviously do both we need to
believe in our children because all of
our children came down to this world and
they woke up every morning because hem
believes in them you know we always say
every morning we
say thank you for giving me back my my
soul with Grace big is so the question
is why do you say R is your faith we
have to say R if you know you say my
faith in you so the say
no how big is your face hem in me me you
gave me back myish today you believe in
me even before I did anything today you
gave me back my soul I am so important
to you
Hashem and that's the best
self-confidence a person could have you
know I'm confident that Hashem has
confidence in me my biggest affirmation
in the morning
is every single day I try to think I'm
not say every I Tred really to to focus
in on the words I'm thanking
that you believe in me you cannot wait
to see what I'm going to still do for
the world one day and every kid should
feel that way from our from their parent
and eventually they'll feel that way
from because our children the way they
see us believing in them they're going
to understand that there is such a thing
I I my authority the biggest
Authority also Believes In Me Okay I
wasted a day I wasted a half a day I
wasted a few years of my life I went
through a stage I couldn't find myself I
came back now wherever I am Hashem still
Believes In Me because he still brought
me back to the world every day if the
Yankees have one of their players that's
not producing he's out it's a very
important game everybody gets paid very
a lot of money over there because it's
very important if you're not productive
you're
out the chosen nation is a tiny from
Nation we are the light light for all
the nations around the world every
player in CL is so important so so so
important and if we're not we wouldn't
be here just make sure you're not waking
up the next morning Hashem brought us to
this world because he believes in us he
gives us every day another day he
believes in us and if I'm not able to be
productive 5 years and 10 years from now
be productive but my I know that Hashem
Believes In Me for the very fact that
I'm
alive and if a child feels that from the
parent that my parent really really
believes in me my parent knows that I am
part of the family I have so much to
offer and this child is good at at at
organizing the the decorating the shabas
table you take that child oh you very
good at it you want to set up the
napkins the doilies you want to make a
nice the other kids is very good at prod
at at at I don't know taking care of
other stuff in the house you bring it in
not as a chore it's a chore also but you
bring it in more as a as a wow you're so
good at it and compliment your kids
anything that's going to build them that
they should have a confidence that you
are confident in them the confidence of
a kid is the confidence that the parent
has confidence in me and then ultimately
that's the only way we can connect to
because a child is born a baby's born
who who their first God who's their
first Hashem who's their first
everything the TTI the mommy the
mother's holding the child giving the
child everything they need before they
even ask the mother knows the child is
hungry the mother changed their diaper
they didn't even have to go to the
bathroom their mother does everything
and as they grow older they become more
and more independent they were very
dependent so feel so secure and safe and
soothed and soothed and they they feel
they feel amazing somewhere throughout
Elementary throughout all the kids and
people telling them things and what's
happening in the world they start
feeling that this connect and start
living on their
own and if they are 7 years old 8 years
old 9 years old and they can't come home
and cry and complain to them parent and
tell them how hard that they was or
whatever they went through and the
parents are really listening because
they care for them and even when they
did something wrong they still feel them
their parent loves them so why should
they feel when they later on in life
when they when they feel that they did
something wrong to Hashem against NE
hasem hasm doesn't love me now I'm
disconnected I did something wrong but
if the parent always love them even when
they did things wrong you know you could
punish your child so let's say my son
hits his younger brother so I what do I
do uh the olden days you scream at him
and 10 15 years ago you say ah you know
it's not nice to hit your brother okay
fine I hear what you're saying but today
I believe that you should give some
consequence to your kid if he's a
healthy kid talk about healthy I tell my
son you need to go into your room now
for 10 minutes I wanted to think about
what it means being hit you just hit
your younger brother you're fighting
with him and you're going into your
Authority I'm the boss you're going into
I don't say I'm the boss I'm just
bringing back what I said before I have
to feel that I'm the boss when I'm
saying it you are going into your room
now for 10 minutes and and don't come
out of the room until 10 minutes because
you hit the younger brother but I can't
wait for you to come out you have the
cutest face I love you so much I can't
wait to see you come out but going into
your room right
now that's
new The
Authority the the uh the consequence you
know he should have times to reflect
what he did but he shouldn't feel for a
second while he's being uh punished or
whatever it is he shouldn't feel for a
second that I lost the love or
connection to my parents then a kid like
grows up like this they're very
different than their life in their
marriage I want to see in marriage look
at marriage so I just had a couple that
came to
me the wife says that they were eating
shabas by her parents her husband said
something front of the whole family they
shouldn't have said he made a mistake so
she is turned off she said I'm turned
off a few days already he's telling me
she's ignoring him she's giving him
silence treatment or halfway silence
treatment and he's like he's devastated
he's like you know whatever so I asked
her so she told me the story he
embarrassed me in front of my family and
he said something should have
said there's a big problem me what's the
problem the problem is like this we
could have dual feelings at the same
time I could be upset at my spouse for
saying something as to love them I can't
hate them I love them no not every
feeling goes together but certain
feelings work hand in hand so if I love
my wife that's I do thank God and let's
say we're living together so many years
there's always going to be something
that that might I tell myself I still
love her but I'm upset she shouldn't
have said that she shouldn't have done
that oh she me a kid that's raised in a
house where the parent while they're
upset at them why did you hit your why
did you break that
vase but it's with love the child feels
yes my parents is upset that I ruined
something very expensive but the child
doesn't feel for a second that my father
doesn't love me anymore my father loves
me the same he's just upset that I broke
something this child is going to get
married they're not going to get turned
off and that's p is going to do
something they're right away going to
their system is going to know we're in
love we're great we're great couple I'm
just upset it's first of all it heals so
much quicker you're able to overcome it
so much quicker and that's ultimate
what we need to do when it comes
to never ever ever gave up on any one of
us
never he believes in us he believes in
after the agle the golden calf he get
there's no giving
up
is you are my first like a firstborn
child you I love
says expresses it he doesn't think it he
says it he loves
CL a child a person needs to feel you
feel that at home you're can eventually
feel that
with one of my Ries in in Psychology and
re he
says we know it says in CL left Egypt
left when they were me that's what he
says
says that that there's 50 levels of
kadus 50 levels of Tim I don't know
exactly how to measure that but for sure
knows the 50th he can't survive anymore
so took out CL the last second it was
such a low area M was it's was terrible
terrible place to live in every sin in
the book was done in that place and
Hashem took us out by 49 level of Tuma
he took our CLA Ro he caught us in the
nick of time soim asked obviously
question why did hasm wait to take us
out his loving
CL at the last moment he could have
taken out us out by level 10 sh it's
very bad
enough 49 the worst almost the worst
that could be why why did hasem
wait till we 49 he says a very beautiful
thing I'm not sure if it's his own if he
said in the name of one of the sadik
that hem wanted to show to that I am not
taking out because you deserve it and
because your performance and because
you're good that's not the reason why
I'm taking you out of M I'm taking you
out of MIT because I believe in your
future I'm taken you out of because you
are CL you're my
child not to do that's why he waited we
shouldn't say ah he took us out because
we had we were we excelled and and this
no we were me 49th level of Tuma to show
that is's nothing to do if my child ever
feels that I love him or her a tiny bit
less because of their performance I
failed I failed I hurt my
child because we ultimately love our
children we do we just we're just so
covered with different we're busy and
with stuff
and but my child should never ever a
child should never feel that they lost
even a tiny bit of love of the parent
regardless of their performance even if
they do everything
wrong if a child feels that way
they had a healthy relationship with
their God their mother their father
their their protectors their Almighty
parents the way a child perceive their
parents eventually they'll have the same
relationship with
Hashem and if they don't have that they
have a big struggle of connecting to hhm
later or because they always feel I'm a
failure I said here I did this that had
so many times throughout life people
telling me different clients and
different teenagers that talk to me even
adults they tell me anyway not I'm not
going to go I'm I'm I'm I'm not close to
hm hm doesn't love me I'm oh I I'm just
silly hem loves us endless endless
Endless Love writes the Torah that
that not because he greater than other
nations and not because hasem just
loved and the children that's it no
explanation he didn't give us
explanation he just loves us just
because we are zeran we are the
children nothing to do with our
performance of course we need to try to
to connect ultimately to and and have a
real healthy relationship with also but
our love if a person feels even for one
moment that I my parents don't love me
as much just because I I was expelled
from Yesa six
times the child's going to have a little
bit of an issue with Hashem as well not
consciously self something's going to
make him
feelm but if a child feels that my
parents love me even if I give them all
the trouble in the world they love me
they think about me they believe in
me ah what they're going to grow up to
be there so many stories of people
telling us again and again because of
one parent believed in me one parent
just my father just my mother believed
in me and always told me it's okay a lot
of kids go through that stage it's okay
you'll grow out of it just let me help
you go through let's discuss it go for
help talk to the therapist get through
it but don't worry I believe in you and
I love you this you know if a parent
could tell a child there's nothing in
the world you could do that's going to
take away my love from you that is what
the way every single child needs to be
and who's telling it to them the parents
the parents that are their owners my
owner my parent my father my mother who
raised me who run this house who own
this house who owned the own the
authority in this house they are telling
me that I am special they are telling me
that I am going to grow up and I'm going
to perform you don't have to lie to your
kids don't take it the wrong way don't
lie to your kids that they're going to
grow up something that they're not every
child is born for different mission in
this world so whatever they do have they
do have whatever you do see in them
elaborate it and magnify it and magnify
it but don't add don't don't don't lie
to your kids they're not stupid they're
not going to take it even so honest
parenting but say it don't be stingy on
Words it's free and really believe in
your kids and tell them you believe in
them you believe in their future and
this is going to create solid resilient
children throughout through their life
there's there's two more names that are
supposed to say that the the the this
Shir is the of two two very highly
G
and they should be to grow up to
be there the was dedicated I really hope
that this was helpful we could really go
into so much more details but I think
that these few points that I brought out
is something that we need to take in and
really try to to do our best and never
be beat yourself up for not doing the
best we all make mistakes this is what
we need to do it's okay this is when we
go to share and we read a book and we we
find a new method something and what
happens is people beat themselves up
afterwards oh I didn't do it all the
time it's okay you learned about it now
wasar for you to learn now you didn't
know it till now your children didn't
need to have a parent like that now that
you heard it now they need to get this
and try try your best and I'm help that
Hashem should tell us already we should
hear how much he believes in us we know
he believes in us through his Torah
through his through the through the but
we want to hear it from him directly
very soon just a few hundred feet away
from here
the that way the whole mdash is going to
come and all the all from the whole
world are going to come home everybody's
going to come home we're gon to ah we
can't wait to see tati again in
