​Parenting Complex Kids: Breaking All the Rules
Parent Coach Chayalle Rose helps parents become more present in their parenting experience by “breaking all the rules:” the book rules, chinuch class rules, society rules, etc. She talks about the importance of our inner feedback as mothers and the need to give up the pressure to “work it all out” and “get it all right” to make space for not knowing. When we face our fears of not
being perfect, we can creat the space to not know and in that space there is room for our Hashem, our intuition, and our joy.
