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":"5.

We deepen last week’s kesher nafshi —a two-way soul-bond—by facing a common gap: many parents are pouring from their world into children living in a different one. Without curiosity and reciprocity, the funnel leaks; with it, chinuch can finally land. Together we learn: - Why a mutual bond ( ke-mayim ha-panim ) is the only stable “funnel” for real chinuch. - How to enter a child’s dor (generation) with humility—see, listen, learn—before you speak. - The difference between organic kibbud av va’em and guilt-based demands—and how to keep it gentle. - Why relying on “passive osmosis” (they’ll just pick it up) isn’t a shittah —we need a conscious method. - Creation’s order as a model: a spousal kesher of mutuality precedes and teaches the parent–child bond. Practical takeaways: - Schedule one curiosity block this week (10–15 min): ask about their music, friends, game, class—no fixing, just “teach me your world.” - Before giving mussar, ask: Do I have a funnel here? If not, build it first (listen, reflect back, then speak briefly). - Name one gentle boundary that keeps connection safe (tone, timing, devices), and keep it with consistency and warmth. ---------- L’ilui nishmat Batya Feiga bat Yisrael; Levi ben Yosef; Avraham Mordechai ben Yosef.
