"Her thoughtful observations consistently illuminate and reassure.
Impassioned, lyrical, and eminently practical, this inspiring volume is a real treasure."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

All parents hope their child will be self-reliant, optimistic, and well mannered, but this has become particularly challenging in our current culture.

Clinical psychologist and Jewish educator Wendy Mogel distills the ancient teachings of the Torah, the Talmud, important Jewish thinkers, and contemporary psychological insights into nine blessings that address key parenting issues. She covers realistic expectations
for each child, respect for adults, chores, mealtime battles, coping with frustration, developing independence and self-control, and resisting over-scheduling and over-indulgence.

The Blessing of a Skinned Knee guides us toward effective, enlightened parenting in an increasingly speedy, material, and competitive age.
