## Resource

When parenting gets loud—mischief, nerves, anger—what actually brings you back to yourself? Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David continue the conversation about love, but take it somewhere very practical: love as the daily mindset that quiets anger and restores perspective in the moment . We explore why “hashkacha” tricks to suppress frustration often fail, and why the most effective preparation is what happens before the moment: training yourself to think loving thoughts throughout the day . Along the way, we learn from the “default emunah” example of Reb Leo Dee , connect this to Azamra (finding the good), and reframe success in parenting: not “did my child behave,” but who did I become when I could’ve lost it—and didn’t . We close by opening the next focus: emotional investment in children, the tension between authority and hierarchy in the home, and how to keep parenting from becoming pressure, so it can return to wonder. ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t CHAPTERS 00:00 Sponsorship and Introduction 01:03 Continuing Last Week's Topic 02:07 Soul’s Three Garments: Thought, Speech, Action 03:15 Thinking Love: Machshava 05:07 Dealing with Child Mischief and Anger 07:09 Attempting to Suppress Anger (lehashkiach) 12:29 Extreme Faith Example from Reb Leo 17:51 Azamra: Recognizing Good in Others 22:35 Outcome Focus: Becoming a Calm Parent 23:46 Parenting: From Pressure to Wonderment 24:54 Finding the Real Outcome of Parenting 26:06 Defining the Perfect Goal for Our Children 27:15 Upcoming Focus: Emotional Investment in Children 28:47 The Best Friend vs Spouse Debate 30:41 Natural Love vs Deeper V'ahav…
