New Life 219 – Communication Between Parents And Teens
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Conversation can be a powerful tool at home that allows a child to be a partner in our educational system. Parents should encourage their children and teens to talk about what’s happening and their related thoughts and impulses so they can build clarity and understanding regarding every situation they encounter. Children should be treated as independent, mature, responsible, and knowledgeable people in order to preserve their sense of self-respect and dignity. Teens should come to see their parents as loyal and wise friends through the power of conversation.

New Life 230 – Happiness And Success
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Why don’t people experience happiness from personal success in modern society, what is the type of success that can bring a ceaseless feeling of happiness and how do we realize this?

Today, we need to find a new kind of success based on mutual benefit, enjoyment, and connection. Personal, egoistic success, at the expense of others, eventually brings double the emptiness. On the other hand, individual success that pleases everyone and is supported and encouraged by others, as in a family, produces the power of perseverance, warmth, love, reciprocity, and infinite happiness for all.

New Life 218 – Adolescence: The Consolidation Of Identity
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Changing our early lives and adolescence is of critical importance for our development. We can help our adolescent children in developing a self-identity, an openness to change and social communication. If we go through the right educational process with a child, adolescence will not be felt as a sharp jump. Show adolescents examples of how we relate to every phenomenon “from two sides,” in a balanced way.

The adolescent will recognize negative and positive impulses, attractions and rejections that people have. In childhood, we sculpt a human image for a child, during adolescence we help him or her build a human spirit in themselves. At the end of adolescence, an internal decision must be made that success lies within the connection between people.

New Life 217 – Sibling Rivalry, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Parents can cultivate desirable behavior in how their children relate to each other by demonstrating their attitude toward the children’s treatment of each other. The addition of a colder, more mechanical line of judgement to the line of mercy in the parents’ approach should be introduced gradually if the sibling relationship seems to be deteriorating despite having been educated. Children should discover the need for balance in relationships. In this way, they can grow up properly and realize that their lives are in their own hands. In order for a family to become integral and round as nature requires, children must learn to compromise and treat each sibling as equally valuable.

New Life 215 – Sibling Relationships, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

What is jealousy and sibling rivalry, and how do we teach children through games and workshops to use such qualities to create a relationship in which personal satisfaction and mutual giving exist? Jealousy between siblings is natural and can help children develop. We educate children by giving them an artificial system of behavior in which to build a second nature. Children can be rewarded for efforts to connect and be considerate.

New Life 212 – Preparing Children For The Arrival Of Siblings
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

In the process of expanding the family, it is necessary to talk with the child throughout the process so that nothing happens suddenly without preparation. Teach the child that it is natural and inevitable for animals and humans to procreate by sharing photos of family lineage or taking a trip to the zoo. Involve the child and discuss his new role as a big sibling and helper to the parents. If the child participates, there should be no jealousy. Family workshops help to gently deal with outbursts of anger. The family always feels connected as four.

New Life 210 – Shame And Appreciation In Families
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

The feeling of shame is the most severe injury to a person. Everyone wants to be appreciated, but also makes a calculation about how much should be invested in order to gain appreciation. Those around us define the values toward which we will gain respect or feel ashamed. Parents should give correct values to a child from childhood, but not press too hard for achievements. The goal is to develop the feelings of others in the child so that the child will develop and will know how to direct himself in life.
