Monthly challenges can be great fun. They help us improve our lives one little step at a time. Great changes take little bits of work over time. So I am pleased to bring you a month of ideas to help you improve your Torah parenting skills. I am excited to hone myself during the month of November, and I hope you will join me. Please take a little time to do the project each day and share your experiences with the rest of us each day. Some projects are fun, some are a little more serious. Enjoy!

Day 9 ~ Don’t repeat yourself.

When you repeat yourself, your children learn that they don’t need to listen the first time, because they know they will hear it again. Even YHVH got frustrated when He had to repeat instructions to the Children of Israel. Let’s train our children to listen the first time, so they will not cause that frustration. Remember that the Hebrew word ‘shema’ means listen and obey.
