The Parenting Wisdom

For more resources, go to efratamira.comMy seven-year-old used to cry his way up our steep driveway every garbage day. A year later, taking the bins up and down is the job he's proudest of, and the change had nothing to do with stricter rules. Most parenting advice focuses on getting kids to behave. This episode is about a deeper goal: raising kids who want to be good, even when no one is watc...

Every parent gets pulled off center. The yelling, the reacting, the moments you promised yourself you'd handle differently. What matters is knowing how to come back. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Tammy Hartman, a pediatric and prenatal chiropractor and mom of two teens who has spent almost 30 years watching family dynamics up close. We talk about what it really means to parent from...

Go deeper with my programs: https://efratamira.comYour kid says "that's just YOUR opinion," and suddenly you don't know what to say. It's not a discipline problem. It's a missing moral foundation, and home is the only place left where our kids will learn it. We went from "do as I say, don't ask questions" to "your opinion is all that matters." Neit...

Is your anxious child struggling with an identity problem rather than a feelings problem? Learn why modern labels miss the mark. We often rush to label our children with mental health labels or gender identities before they have any grasp of their own values or family history. This societal pressure to define the self constantly can leave kids feeling overwhelmed by the weight of their own freedom...

Are you an empathetic parent raising a child who can't handle the word "no"? Who breaks down at every frustration, speaks disrespectfully, or expects you to fix everything? You're not doing it wrong because you lack empathy. You might be doing it wrong because of it. In this video I'm going to show you the 4 ways empathy backfires in parenting — and what ancient wisdom from P...

Your kid comes home from school and the first words out of their mouth are: "Why does this always happen to me?"What you say next is shaping how your child sees the entire world — as a place that is out to get them, or a place they can navigate from a position of strength. In this video I teach you one concept from ancient Jewish wisdom that changes that answer forever. Not through lectu...

Your child isn't anxious because of school, screens, or pressure- those are just the places where anxiety lands. In this episode I share what anxiety really is (hint: it's not fear), the three "thieves" that quietly stole meaning from modern childhood — the achievement-obsessed schedule, the lost outdoors, and the family that became a taxi service- and the three connections that...

We're raising the first generation in modern history that's testing lower than their parents — less attention, less memory, even lower IQ — and they're doing it while AI can already ace the very tasks we grade them on. So how do we keep our kids motivated to learn? The answer is an idea Jewish wisdom gave us thousands of years ago about our single deepest drive in life. plus 4 practica...

Stop over-parenting and reduce child anxiety using a 4,000-year-old framework. Learn the exact balance between engagement and autonomy. Many parents today spend more time with their children than ever before, yet kids are reporting higher levels of stress and anxiety. This paradox suggests that modern parenting styles often lean too heavily into control, unintentionally stifling a child's deve...

And that instinct is right — but it's only half the picture. In this episode I want to show you why staying in the validation moment, without moving past it, can actually keep your child stu...

Your child works hard. They care deeply. And every single competition day — they fall apart. Shaking. Throwing up. Running to the bathroom. And you don't know what to say anymore. In this episode I share two real stories from parents just like you — a 14-year-old track runner and a 15-year-old wrestler — both performing well, both physically falling apart before every competition. And I want t...
