The Optimizing Mother – Episode 1
In the exciting first episode of The Optimizing Mothers podcast, host Sara Blau is joined by experienced mother and educator, Mrs. Dinie Rapoport. Listen to Mrs. Rapoport emphasize the impact of teachable moments by sharing stories from her childhood and her experience as a preschool teacher. She introduces techniques by which to facilitate teachable moments such as big picture mindset, mindfulness, and “flexible consistency”. This episode discusses how to bring happiness and excitement to Yiddishkeit and the home.






From the perspective of a great-grandmother, who’s had the privilege of knowing Dinie since she was a young girl, I am immensely impressed (but not at all surprised) by her wisdom, intelligence, refinement, and sweetness.
