This week on Mommash, Lori talks with Aleph Beta COO Malka Alweis of Teaneck, NJ, mother of three sons and three daughters, all age nine and under. Malka will blow you away with the soulful transformation she underwent at the birth of her oldest child, and how she brings her revelations to the task of developing her children's spirits, speaking their love languages, creating a child-centered home, and building a fun, supportive and spiritual home life. She shares her wisdom on how parents can tap into the unlimited potential we instinctively ascribe to our children to transform their families and themselves. Plus, creative and practical insights on systems for encouragement and discipline, sharing parenting tasks with your spouse, finding special time with each child, creating and then ditching routines, late bedtime for Shabbat, holidays and other adventures, fostering a spirit of partnership between parents and children, and between siblings, dealing differently with kids according to their personalities, limiting screen time to one night a week, developing kids' sense of agency, connecting young children to Jewish history, and how a single Chinese food lunch can lift the spirits for months.
