The Parenting Wisdom

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

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.

Are you an empathetic parent raising a child who can't handle the word "no"?

2026/08/09

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 lectures or pep talks — but through the way you respond in the small, everyday moments when your child comes

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 bring meaning and calm back into your child's life: belonging, nature, and the sacred.
