\"Mitzvot<\/a>This is by no means a comprehensive roundup. This post focuses on topics that\u00a0 are not typical for inclusion in teaching about values.

Mitzvot Unplugged Roundup<\/h2>\n

I think that these online lessons on teaching middot <\/a>by Rabbi Yossi Kahan from Hillel middle school, are useful. I would love to see examples of other approaches. Lisa Samick’s guest post<\/a> on Kveller talks about using the Ruth story to teach middot of kindness, charity and loyalty. Jewish Mom excerpt\/review of Rebbetzin Heller’s book Balancing Act <\/a>provides some tips on instilling a number of values in our kids.<\/p>\n

Body and Safety Values<\/h2>\n

Values are also relevant to body awareness and safety. The following posts are relevant for that topic:<\/p>\n

We often teach our children about Lashon Hara (evil speech). But how do they know what they need to pass on to a parent or teacher? Metro Ima’s post, My Child Was Bullied <\/a>deals with the topic. A Mother in Israel has Ten Lessons for our daughters <\/a>which are practical and useful. Chaya from All Victories talks about teaching our daughters (and sons) about self respect in On Telling My Preschooler to Cover Up. \u00a0<\/a> And for parents this Book Review of Yocheved Debow’s Talking About Intimacy and Sexuality: A Guide for Orthodox Jewish Parents <\/a>may be useful.<\/p>\n

On a lighter note<\/h2>\n

On the lighter side, Bible Belt Balabusta’s lesson on Tzaar Baalei Chayim,\u00a0<\/a> roughly translated as not mistreating animals, is fun and has some neat resources for using nature in teaching our children. Making mitvah cards<\/a> is also a way to get your kids involved in learning about mitzvot, as well as a way to focus on middot that you think need a specific focus. This mitzvah book is also a fun way to teach small fry about mitzvot. One last note, Amital’s guest post Lets Talk About Jewish Learning<\/a> mentioned some resources for teaching tefilla and brachot. I wanted to mention Rav Ari Schwat’s al hamichya which I wrote about in the context of teaching gratitude for the things we eat.<\/a><\/p>\n
