Sound Like A Father
Conventional opinion says that children resent parents talking to them as father and mother. The truth is that speaking to them merely as adults is what they resist, not the father and son conversation.

So Practical! Thank you for the lecture and specifically thank you for the practical advice on how to deliver parenting lessons to our children. Many lectures speak in theory and this one spoke theory and practice, which is really what we need to hear. Thank you, Rabbi Friedman! Reply

premeditated atatements
I like your shiurim, for years I listen to them.
Here you touch a subject that is a situation I can relate, but the solution is not enough for me so I can use it. My youghest children are 4 and 6 year old, but I dont understand how to applay the premeditated statement.
Can you please give me a few examples?

speak like an adult sound like a father. This was (another) great and wise class from Rabbi Friedman. I always hear just what I need to hear in his classes, hopefully this time I will be able to learn it!
Thank you!
