Parenting advice...
from a Jewish perspective
In this section, you'll find creative, down-to-earth parenting advice for every age & stage. Whether you have a newborn, older baby, toddler, school-age child, or teen--or a bunch of kids--you'll find valuable parenting help here.
Jewish sources contain a wealth of practical parenting advice and offer time-tested parenting strategies for raising children to become well-adjusted, healthy, happy, and successful. Our sources also offer amazing philosophical and spiritual insights into parenting that can help us best nourish our children's (and our own) emotional and spiritual development.
In the pages of Natural Jewish Parenting, you can read articles with parenting strategies and guidance from writers such as Lawrence Kelemen, Miriam Adahan, Ruchama King Feuerman, Marilyn Tokayer, and many more -- as well as personal essays, advice, and parenting tips from our readers.
From the practical to the innovative to the humorous and everything in between, get the parenting advice you're looking for -- all from a Jewish perspective. So sit back and relax, get nice and comfortable, and get ready for a great read! And... get inspired to become an even better parent.
The links below will take you to a sampling of parenting articles from the pages of Natural Jewish Parenting magazine. Some articles are reprinted in full; others are excerpts. (If an article title is plain text and does not link to another page, then it is currently available only in print copies of NJP. Back issues are available at the NJP Shop.
Click here to order back issues.
NJP Shop will open in a new window.)
Over time, I will be making more articles available online. New articles will be posted here after each new issue is published, and exclusive web-only content will also be added.
Articles are categorized here according to the relevant stages of child development. If you're looking for words of wisdom and practical strategies for parenting children of any age, scroll down to "All Ages."
