Summary: What works with kids and for parents
Comment: Child rearing is tough work, as tough or tougher now than ever. Mogul, a psychologist, sought to
find a different, healthy approach to managing children and parenthood. She came to Judaism's
traditional ways. For much of the book, the theme is simple: given three thousand years of
parenthood, what are the lessons of what works? These lessons are presented clearly and helpfully.
There's a bit of promoting Judaism in here, but anyone willing to read critically will easily be
able to come away with some parenting gold nuggets. As the parent of young adults, I found some
things that will even help me with their finishing the entry to adulthood and only the smallest
number of ideas with which I disagreed. Highly recommended to prospective parents, those with
youngsters, and anyone working with children.

Summary: Blessings of a Skinned Knee
Comment: Concepts clearly presented. I looked for curative truths related to children who have everything
but are demanding, unhappy and unsuccessful. I found many truths in this book. They were identified
as spirituality, family involvement, natural consequences and responsibility, not exclusively. Did
I agree with everything? No. For instance: Jewish mother's drive their children toward "success"
less than other mothers. This was a book about finding speciality by being responsible. I've
already given two books to other family members.
