The most important child-raising book you'll ever read,
By Rebecca K. (Amsterdam, Holland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planting & Building in Education: Raising a Jewish Child (Hardcover)
Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe provides the two basic keys to raising a moral, emotionally healthy, well adjusted Jewish child. Beginning with the premise that the world develops through two main functions, PLANTING and BUILDING, Rabbi Wolbe applies these two principles to the education and nurturing of the Jewish child. He introduces the book by explaining that parents need to first PLANT in their child the proper perspective on life, the proper morals, values and goals; and they will see them sprout as the child develops. At the same time however, he warns us not to leave them to sprout on their own. Parents must next tend to their child, and BUILD the child by teaching him to apply these principles in the daily struggle of becoming a human being.
The primary focus of the book, then, gives the reader advice on how to apply these two elements to parenting his child, with both practical examples and a basic Jewish philosophy to education. No other book on the market will give a parent a better understanding into the nature of child-rearing and the importance parents play in building their children into proper, respectful, moral, healthy, loving adults.

Relax and enjoy... your children?,

This review is from: Planting & Building in Education: Raising a Jewish Child (Hardcover)
If you have "difficult" or "stubborn" children, throw away your other parenting books and just drink this one in, deeply. Time and again, I lose patience with the "sprouting" process and try to "fix" my children with rigid, soul-destroying discipline. When, invariably, I give up in despair - I always happen to notice this book on my shelf, read it...and thank G-d for its translator :-)! Without making you into the weak parent of a tyrannical child, this book shows you how to honor your child (and the tough ones REALLY need that) and, slowly, patiently, joyously, bring out the mentsch that he/she really is.

Warmly Recommended,
By NesanelS "NesanelS" (NJ, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planting & Building in Education: Raising a Jewish Child (Hardcover)
This book was warmly recommended by a rabbi and noted author Rabbi Pesach Krohn (he said `there is a wonderful sefer -book that I cannot recommend enough it is..!). The author writes very fundamentally. He was one of the greatest rabbis of the generation in matters of chinuch-education. These are lectures given over years and were written down for the sake of the broader community. The translation was done by a rabbi who was probably close to him.
