“Honor your father and mother (Ex. 20:12)”, the 5th commandment, is in this week’s Torah portion, known as Yitro. Parenting seems to be my theme for the week. Last night, I participated in a session with a group of mothers of 4th grade girls. Together, we are developing a Mother-Daughter Group. Today, I took part in the second session of a Blessing of a Skinned Knee Parenting Discussion Group. And in between I’ve been reading the book Nurture Shock.
