According to Kabbalah, what is the right way to bring up our children?
Kabbalists support an age-old rule in education: “Teach the boy according to the boy’s way.” This rule stems from the principle that there is no coercion in spirituality. Hence, according to Kabbalah, it is forbidden to apply any pressure on a child. The parents and the environment must set correct examples for the child to follow so that in each stage, he or she will grow in a more spiritual manner. In this manner, the child realizes all the inherent forces in his or her soul, and can discover the root of his or her soul, feeling eternal and whole even while living in this world.
