The fact that this little book is very concise is a further enhancement for busy parents to read and learn from .

Shira Frank has written a highly practical guide to parenting our children in an increasingly complex world. Informed by decades of practice as a therapist helping parents strike the delicate balance between love and limits, this book presents easily implemented approaches to raising children through use of praise, empathy and an unemotional and gentle strategy for limit setting.

Mother in Action.

Motherhood has stages. The intoxicating and overwhelming sensations of new motherhood give way to deeper wisdom and maturity… A mother in progress is transformed into a mother in action, a woman whose behaviors are more confident and refined.

In this eloquent and profound odyssey of motherhood, author and family therapist Tzippora Price probes the signposts along the path of becoming an intelligent and caring mother.

We observe how a mother can be available to her children without being intrusive, how a simple cup of tea can help build an enduring marriage, and how women can cope with the empty nest.

Exquisitely articulate and courageously honest, we are drawn into the author’s world as she deals with a child’s existential crisis over the death of a pet, the trials of secondary infertility, and the paradox of the ADHD label.

With poignant parenting moments as the family dons oxygen masks in a malfunctioning plane or as husband and wife flee a fire while on vacation, Mother in Action overflows with opportunity to help you transcend your self-imposed limits and become the mother you always dreamed of being. Learn More

After having one child or more, most couples are able to consider having another. Life-changing decisions like these should be educated and well-informed ones. It is no secret that Jewish tradition encourages a Jew to continue having children should the opportunity arise. In today’s society, this position is often challenged from multiple directions. Shall We Have Another? endeavors to explain the Torah’s position on the subject and address the various challenges associated with it.
