The Parenting Wisdom
Podcast Description
Parenting today comes with an overwhelming amount of information, yet many parents feel lost, and children are struggling more than ever. In The Parenting Wisdom Podcast, I dive into ancient wisdom combined with **modern science** to uncover the deeper meaning behind parenting and our true role in our children’s lives.
By tapping into timeless insights and understanding the “why” behind parenting, we can raise resilient, fulfilled, and grounded children. Join me every Wednesday as we explore these important conversations and reconnect with the w
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show delves into themes of parenting, personal development, and emotional resilience. Specific topics include balancing love and discipline, fostering resilience in children, and navigating academic pressure. Episodes often feature discussions on personal growth, such as 'How to Raise Kids to Find Meaning in a World That Lost Its Moral Compass' and 'Listening to Our Bodies Wisdom in Parenting.'
The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is a place where we explore parenting from a truly holistic perspective. I believe that a wise parent is one who asks questions, keeps an open mind, and also trusts their deep inner knowing.
Here, we integrate insights from psychology, sociology, holistic medicine, child development science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. Because there is no single “right” way to parent — each of us is unique, and every child is a unique soul.
The guiding principle of The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is that parents are their children’s leaders. And as leaders, we must be both humble and courageous as we raise children who will grow into independent, resilient, and fulfilled human beings — ready to share their unique gifts and live lives of meaning and purpose.
We believe that our children are strong and capable, and that challenges are part of their growth. Our role is to let them face those challenges while remaining their safe haven — the steady presence they can always count on, no matter what.
n this episode, Efrat Amira introduces a powerful shift inspired by The Art of Elevation by Yechiel Harari: our role as parents is not just to manage behavior, but to elevate our children.
Rather than reacting moment to moment, we’re invited to help our children see the good already within them—their potential, strength, and capacity for growth—while gently refining the traits that pull them off course.
What You’ll Learn
Why modern parenting struggles with character formation
How Western thought (influenced by Rousseau) views children as inherently perfect—and why that makes discipline confusing
A Jewish wisdom perspective on human nature: potential, not perfection
The idea of two inner forces—self-centered instincts and higher values—and how they show up in kids
Why character traits aren’t “good” or “bad,” but need balance and refinement
How strong traits like confidence, assertiveness, or cheerfulness can become destructive if unbalanced
What Avodat Hamidot (character work) means in everyday parenting
Why changing perspective leads to emotional health—and better behavior over time
The Big Idea
When we help our children expand their perspective—rather than just correcting actions—their emotions shift, their behavior follows, and their character strengthens.
This is how we raise children who don’t just behave well, but become well.
