How Do We Teach a Child to See Beyond Themselves? - Shemot

When does real growth begin in a child? In Parshat Shemot, we’re introduced to Moshe Rabbeinu—not just as a leader, but as a model for emotional and spiritual maturity. From learning to truly see the pain of others to recognizing what it means to stand in a makom kadosh, Moshe’s journey offers powerful guidance for parents and educators. This Parenting in the Parsha explores: The first signs of real maturity in children How to nurture empathy and awareness at different ages Teaching children to recognize kedusha in spaces, moments, and relationships A thoughtful reflection for parents raising children to see beyond themselves and grow with humility and awe.
