Jewish Family & Life!, with funding from the Manuel D. and Rhoda Mayerson Foundation, is launching an exciting pilot program. Read below to find out more about this unique offering to families with young children.

Young children can be a joy and a challenge at the same time. We could all benefit from a little professional advice. Through the Jewish Parent Coaching online service, we pair you with a coach, who can help you navigate your way through the preschool years while responding to your desire to naturally incorporate Jewish values, traditions and customs into your everyday parenting. Your personal coach will help you solve problems, gain insight into constructively parenting your young child and serve as a guide for your family's Jewish journey. You will receive personalized assistance on a variety of topics that are relevant to you and your family such as:

  • How do I answer questions about holidays, God and Jewish ritual?
  • How do I correct disruptive behavior?
  • How do I raise a "mentsch"?
  • How do I explain death to a preschooler within a Jewish context?
  • How can I raise a Jewish child in an interfaith family?
  • How do I explain the Chanukah/Christmas conundrum?
  • How can I get my child to sleep?
  • How can Judaism help me be a better parent?
