How to Get Your Kids to Listen

And Other Parenting Puzzles

You want to know how to get your kids to listen. Their chinuch* is super important. At Jewish Workshops, we get it. As a team with many moms, we know how critical the chinuch of our children is.
 
From the run-of-the-mill
How to get my child to sleep in his own bed?
How do I get my kids to listen to me? 
To difficult and painful situations
My daughter doesn’t respect any of my values. Now what?
My son is no longer speaking to me. How do I relate?
And everything before, after, and in between – we have a lot of questions.
 
But we don’t have control over our kids.
And we don’t have control over their teachers.
And we don’t have control over their friends.
But we DO have control over ourselves.
 
So ultimately, it boils down to –
How can I be a better mother? father? grandparent?
 
We partnered with Sarah Chana Radcliffe to bring you answers to the big and small parenting questions.
How can I be a better mother when my 4-year-old is throwing a tantrum over his spilled cereal?
How can I be a better mother when my 14-year-old won’t go to school because she has no friends?
How can I be a better mother when my 24-year-old, still living at home, ignores me?
 
With decades of experience, Sarah Chana Radcliffe answers all your questions on family life in her Family Circle Community.  The Family Circle meets weekly on Zoom to connect with Sarah Chana Radcliffe and learn from her know-how and experience.
 
So, yes, in the Family Circle, we learn how to get kids to listen.
And we also learn how to handle our own stress, frustration, and reactions when they don’t.
 
Chinuch can’t be taught in one short article.
And we’re not going to give a pat answer how to get kids to listen.
 
Join us and get ALL the skills a mother needs.

*Chinuch is a Hebrew word and challenging to define. Its literal meaning, initiation or inauguration, sheds insight into its colloquial usage to refer to education and upbringing. When a parent cares about the chinuch for his child – he recognizes childhood as an initiation for the journey of life. He does everything he can to raise his child to be an upstanding, and outstanding, adult. Back to Top

What Our Participants Say

Thank you very much for the daily advice from Miriam. I’ve been familiar with Miriam for many years and have read many of her books. She really changed my life. In my opinion, she’s one of the greatest in our time.

Actually earlier in the day – before I even knew about your workshop, I had listened to your guided imagery to feel Hashem’s protection. So when I saw your workshop email, I really felt that it was a G-d sent. May Hashem continue to give you the strength to strengthen others.

Rus

I just wanted to send a thank you message to Sarah Chana for her helping me in this time of crisis. I feel like I have my own personal therapist holding my hand and guiding me lovingly through all this turmoil. I started the class crying and ended laughing along with Sarah Chana’s soft, friendly, encouraging laughter. She is truly heaven send.

Rivka

 I have been a loyal follower in the Family Circle since day 1, and cannot tell you how much it has changed me as a person, enhanced my marriage (even before the marriage series!), and changed my parenting – and my precious children! I feel so blessed and grateful that Hashem sent me into this community.”

Tali

I caught the webinar. Thank you & to Rabbi Stephen Baars. It was very stimulating & I will review it to get the full value for easier applicaion. After listening to the first one hour session, I wasn’t sure that much was new, but interestingly through the week, in many situations his relevant words appeared in my head while visiting a young couple away from my home & I realized that he has fine tuned more well known ideas & is original, practical, upfront & very kind! And well done that Rabbi Baars is dealing with Intimacy! It is rarely addressed in the frum world & I heard recently of a chat forum, young frum women set up, to advise each other which sadly has many misguided pieces of advice. A friend of mine, a doctor received permission, though beyond the age group, to join so she can clarify some things & guide them a little.

Devorah

I loved Sarah Chana’s Bach Flower series which was amazing and which I am going to start using in my practice, and because my subscription overlapped with another course on behavior and personality issues, I listened and was hooked! I’ve been studying the recordings!!

Yocheved

I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar! Slovie is a very caring, compassionate and inspiring speaker! THANK YOU very much for the opportunity to participate!

Marie

Thank you so much, Chaya Hinda, for being my shaliach. I really enjoyed the whole webinar. I liked how you started with a concept, clarified it with the 5 different stories, left us cliff hanging about the endings of the amazing stories, and then brought it all together. You have such an ability to make things manageable and you are very engaging. Your passion for what you do shines so brightly and all in all, you care so much and are with us in our struggles. That’s besides having a common sense down to earth perspective, which brings the ‘airy fairy’ concepts down to the nuts and bolts of living the best life we can. And you do all this with a strength that embraces all the frailty of being human, of being imperfect, vulnerable, at times and recognizing the confusion in our lives. You bring Hashem into my life, and awareness of the most vital concepts: Our Father in Heaven is always watching over us, His people, and He only wants good for us.
