Maybe even trivial. But in this shiur, Rav SHlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David uncover how that question is actually a gateway into one of the deepest יסודות of parenting.\nWhat happens when a child says, “I don’t like this”?\nDo we push? Do we ignore? Do we accommodate?\nRav Shlomo opens up a completely different דרך — one that doesn’t get stuck on the food at all, but sees it as an expression of something much deeper: a child’s עולם הרגשות.\nWe explore:\n Why suppressing a child’s preferences may “work”… but at a cost \n The difference between acknowledging and indulging \n How food becomes a language for emotional expression \n Why children must first feel seen before they can be guided\n And how to hold the tension between גבולות and רגישות \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\nChapters\n00:00 Opening Greeting and Shabbat Blessing\n01:14 Sponsor Acknowledgments and Memorial Tributes\n02:52 Importance of Children’s Emotional World\n03:58 Core Parenting Question: What’s for Dinner?\n05:09 Two Dinner Strategies: Individual vs Uniform\n06:57 Analyzing the Textual Example on Food\n09:51 The Snake’s Curse and Taste Concept\n10:53 God-given Sense of Taste Explained\n19:28 Acknowledging Children’s Food Preferences\n21:39 Extending Taste Principle Beyond Food\n24:00 Masking Deeper Issues Behind Food Preferences\n25:48 Parenting Book Review and Khush Ha-Ta'am\n27:30 Shul Leadership vs Parental Authority\n29:07 Children's Meal Requests Reveal Emotional Needs\n30:13 Managing Multiple Dinner Options for Kids\n32:13 Gift of Midrash Iyov and Hidden Messages\n45:42 Questioning Suppressing a Child's Taste Preferences\n46:57 Importance of Recognizing Child's Feelings First\n48:08 Taste of Love Over Food\n49:30 Generational Differences in...","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}
