Join Dassie in diving deep into the cause of big feelings. Everyone talks about self-regulation… but let’s back up, look into a child’s brain, and see what’s really going on in there when they have a big emotional reaction. 

As parents, our role isn’t to remove obstacles but to support our children with love and empathy as they navigate them. This Tu B’Shevat, let’s embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Trusting our loyal community, we are ready to tackle a busy month ahead with confidence and teamwork, making every event and goal a success together!

Explore the balance between unconditional love and the responsibility for personal growth. Just as Yom Kippur offers forgiveness while calling us to confess and refine ourselves, parenting mirrors this dynamic.

In the latest message from Dassie’s desk, we explore the delicate balance between nurturing independent thinkers and instilling a deep respect for authority—values at the heart of CMCH's educational philosophy. This reflection draws a timely parallel with Rosh Hashanah’s theme of “Coronating Hashem as King."
