Your Brain is Trying to Protect You — Even When You Don’t Need It To.

“I can’t do it! It’s too hard! I want to go back to when the rule was you did it!” This is my preschool aged son talking about putting on his own shirt. When we first broke the news to him, around the age of 4, that he had reached…

[The laughter of children…and why it is so powerful on Tisha B Av]

The sound ripples like a playful wave throughout the room — giggles, gurgles, and guffaws of children — about 80 of them — aged 2 through 10 — sitting together in a room, and enjoying a movie. After a full morning of play, davening, and creating beautiful art for bags…

To Climb “But” Hill You Need Strong “WHY” Shoes

Hearing “No” is hard. Even if the “no” is said politely — “no, thank you.” or “let’s hold off on this for now” — it’s still hard. Each of us is trying to create something in this life — we enter the world each day trying to leave it a…

Children: Little Emotion Mirrors

Have you noticed how children mirror your emotions? Kids are sponges. They eat up the way adults in their lives act around them, and more importantly — the way they react. The younger they are, the more they look to the grown ups to help define their worlds —both internal…

Clocks

A clock is ticking in the room where I fall asleep with my son, but the clock the one by my grandpa’s orange house bike — in a time before Peloton. And the A/C drips onto the courtyard below, and the clothing wafts gently, hung up on the line, while my grandma’s…

Imagine a moment in our fractured world where we are all the same - where we are all whole. Imagine a breath that we all take together, where we exhale - and the air feels a little lighter. Imagine a time where we received a gift so grand, and so delightful - where…

Emotions: Suppress, Regulate, or Embody? Why they’re different, and why it matters for your kid (and you).

You know the scene: you are running late, or you’re in a public space — maybe a store, or a community gathering — or you’re just trying to have a quiet morning at home. All of the sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, your child begins to have a really, really…

Let’s Talk About Failure

Yikes — did your stomach just lurch up a little bit towards your throat when you read that title? Did a shudder reverberate through your spine, emerging from a deeply guarded place in your past? Did you just feel a little bit of dread? fear? anger? sadness? It’s okay —…

The Tiny Spotted Elephant — and other manifestations of shame.

Today I am thinking a lot about The Tiny Spotted Elephant. What is The Tiny Spotted Elephant? It is the manifestation of that voice that shows up to say you’re not good enough. It’s that little itty bitty whisper in your ear that says “this isn’t going to work” when…

Love Thy Neighbor, Love Thy Self

לֹֽא־תִקֹּ֤ם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ֥ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ כָּמ֑וֹךָ … You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow as yourself. Love your fellow as yourself is, perhaps, one of the most quoted psukim in this week’s Parsha. It crosses denominational, and even faith…
