"If You Don't Influence Your Child, Kim Kardashian Will Do It For You" Reclaim Authority With Avital Schreiber-Levy Artwork

The Parenting Wisdom

The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is a place where we explore parenting from a truly holistic perspective. I believe that a wise parent is one who asks questions, keeps an open mind, and also trusts their deep inner knowing.

Here, we integrate insights from psychology, sociology, holistic medicine, child development science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. Because there is no single “right” way to parent — each of us is unique, and every child is a unique soul.

The guiding principle of The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is that parents are their children’s leaders. And as leaders, we must be both humble and courageous as we raise children who will grow into independent, resilient, and fulfilled human beings — ready to share their unique gifts and live lives of meaning and purpose.

We believe that our children are strong and capable, and that challenges are part of their growth. Our role is to let them face those challenges while remaining their safe haven — the steady presence they can always count on, no matter what.

"If You Don't Influence Your Child, Kim Kardashian Will Do It For You" Reclaim Authority With Avital Schreiber-Levy

April 16, 2025 • Efrat Amira • Season 3 • Episode 50

In this powerful episode, we explore why so many modern parents—especially in the millennial generation—feel like they’ve lost their authority. We unpack the cultural shifts that led us here: from authoritarian upbringings to the rise of therapeutic parenting, gentle approaches, and fear of judgment in a multicultural, morally relativistic society.

But have we gone too far?

We discuss how authority became synonymous with oppression, why permissiveness is not the solution, and how children actually thrive when there is clear, benevolent leadership in the home.

You’ll learn:

The root causes of the "authority crisis" in modern parenting
The consequences for kids: confusion, anxiety, identity struggles
The impact on parents: guilt, doubt, and burnout
How to reclaim your role as a loving leader in your family
Practical steps to build a strong family culture, set boundaries with confidence, and raise grounded, resilient kids in a chaotic world

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

Why gentle parenting sometimes goes too far
How permissiveness undermines connection and safety
What real, benevolent authority looks and feels like
Creating a home culture with values, rituals, and roots
How kids thrive with structure, guidance, and spiritual meaning
Parenting in a society without shared moral foundations
Why Israel offers a powerful cultural contrast to Western trends

👨‍👩‍👧 For Parents Who:

Feel unsure about setting boundaries
Struggle with mom/dad guilt or fear of being “too much”
Want to raise emotionally intelligent and morally grounded kids
Are ready to lead with both empathy and conviction
