An Evening with Parenting Expert Wendy Mogel

"You don't have to be religious, you don't even have to be Jewish to appreciate Mogel's philosophy that allowing children to fall down and pick themselves up (with kisses as needed) is the way to raise resilient, self-confident kids."
---The New York Times

Dr. Wendy Mogel is an internationally known clinical psychologist, author and public speaker. She is the best-selling author of two parenting books: The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and The Blessing of a B Minus: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Resilient Teenagers.

In her revelatory first book, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, Mogel shares stories of everyday parenting problems through the lens of the Torah, the Talmud and other important Jewish teachings.

An experienced and popular public speaker, Mogel's presentation is inspiring, humorous and effective in helping parents meet the day-to-day challenge of raising self-reliant children. She lectures to parents, educators and clergy across the country.

In 2006, The New York Times Sunday Magazine published a profile of Mogel and her work.
