Join Rav Shlomo in learning from the sefer Da Et Yeladecha by Rav Itamar Shwartz, author of Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh, and explore how Torah and Chazal guide us in building a healthy, loving connection between parent and child. This isn’t about perfect techniques or quick fixes. It’s about creating a foundation of truth, learning to really listen, and finding the right “funnel” so that what we want to give actually reaches our children. Each shiur is meant to be practical, gentle, and encouraging, and something you can take home and live with.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/know-your-children-with-rav-shlomo-katz-7478156"},"episode":{"title":"16.

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David continue the conversation about the three garments of the soul — thought, speech, and action — and apply it to a core parenting question: How do we build our child’s world of emotions in a healthy, Torah-aligned way? We explore what it can look like when a parent is emotionally blocked (chasum), how that can echo through marriage, friendships, and even one’s relationship with Hashem—and why “being frum” is not the same thing as emotional closeness. Along the way, we touch on attachment theory (including Rabbi Yaakov Danishefsky’s Attached ), the difference between “open” and “everything goes,” and why chinuch isn’t only about fixing negative emotions—but also about actively building confidence, love, and joy . Takeaway: Emotional safety isn’t permissiveness. It’s a home where the child can grow and where feelings can be named, held, and guided… without shutting the child down or turning the home into a free-for-all. ---------- 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 Memorial Acknowledgments 01:23 Trigger Warning and Parenting Focus 02:37 Three Garments of the Soul 04:59 Emotional Blockage in Parents 08:29 Childhood Origins of Emotional Closure 11:09 Open vs Closed Emotional States 14:43 Illusion of Spiritual Closeness 16:49 Attachment Theory and the Book “Attached” 21:04 Scope of Emotional Education 48:20 Psychologists vs Parental Duty in Child Development 49:25 Common Questions and Experience of Seasoned Paren…","meta_description":"This week’s shiur comes with a warning: parenting is triggering because it not only exposes our children’s inner world, it exposes ours .
