Do I Want to Know My Child’s World?","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3267,"description":"In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz asks the heart-level question: Do I Want to Know My Child’s World?\nWe 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.\nTogether we learn:\n- Why a mutual bond (ke-mayim ha-panim) is the only stable “funnel” for real chinuch.\n- How to enter a child’s dor (generation) with humility—see, listen, learn—before you speak.\n- The difference between organic kibbud av va’em and guilt-based demands—and how to keep it gentle.\n- Why relying on “passive osmosis” (they’ll just pick it up) isn’t a shittah—we need a conscious method.\n- Creation’s order as a model: a spousal kesher of mutuality precedes and teaches the parent–child bond.\nPractical takeaways:\n- Schedule one curiosity block this week (10–15 min): ask about their music, friends, game, class—no fixing, just “teach me your world.”\n- Before giving mussar, ask: Do I have a funnel here? If not, build it first (listen, reflect back, then speak briefly).\n- Name one gentle boundary that keeps connection safe (tone, timing, devices), and keep it with consistency and warmth.----------\nL’ilui nishmat Batya Feiga bat Yisrael; Levi ben Yosef; Avraham Mordechai ben Yosef.\nFor refuah sheleimah Aliza Chana bat Naomi; Shoshana Yona bat Eidel—תחת שערי שמים.\n----------\nFor more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com\nJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1kIczSvIsSLQhU43EiAuIwIwZqNhtmqJjeK1o3ZXq5s/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYTUw/ODM2ZTE4ZTk5ZWI0/OTFhZTUwYmNkNzli/Y2RlZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
