Your Child Doesn’t Need More Praise - They Need This - Bamidbar

This week’s parsha begins with Hashem commanding Moshe to “lift the heads” of Bnei Yisrael while counting them. Why describe a census that way? Because true counting isn’t about numbers—it’s about making people feel seen. In a world where so many children quietly struggle with feeling invisible, the Torah gives parents a timeless lesson: one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is helping them know they matter. This Parenting in the Parsha explores how small moments of attention, interest, and connection can completely change a child’s sense of self.
