Meet the Presenters – Upcoming Parents Webinar

Mikvah.org’s important webinar on conversing with our children on sensitive and important topics is filling up quickly.

Ever been stumped by your child with a great question you just don’t have the words to answer?

Found yourself blushing at ideas your teen wanted explained?

Need the right lingo to explain important life concepts to your kids?

As Chassidim, we know that the perspective of Chassidus colors and influences every aspect of our lives, especially in the areas of Chinuch.

So much has been discussed recently on social media and within the community regarding having conversations with our children on the facts of life. For the first time, we present a paradigm shift in perspective as well as a how-to guide on having these important conversations with your children on the facts of life from the perspective of Chassidus.

Featuring respected educators who have extensively researched this topic with the guidance of Rabbonim & Mashpios, this 3-part webinar will have 2 sessions for mothers and 1 for fathers and is available by paid registration only at mikvah.org/webinar.

Registration will firmly close at midnight tonight. Mikvah.org/webinar
