    24. Fun, Love and War with Avigail Gimpel

    An absolutely incredible conversation with Avigail Gimpel, mother of three sons and three daughters, author of two books on raising a child with ADHD symptoms, college professor, community activist, and exercise enthusiast. Avigail shares how her early experience teaching a class full of rowdy boys led her to think deeply about root causes for ADHD behaviors, and search for diet, exercise, and behavioral strategies to nurture each child's strengths. She discusses the centrality of fun to family life, sending her children off to war, relying on her kids as a multiplier for her work, and how Jewish practice and belief centers her family life. Avigail also shares reflections on her work preparing women for burial after 10/7. Plus, a three-year jaunt to Moscow with toddlers in tow, running marathons as a family, monthly trips to the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Maarat ha Machpelah) in Hebron, avoiding using your kids as your therapists, and building a close community to guide each other in tough times.

    18. From Only Child to Mom of Many with Brie Reich

    This week on Mommash, Brie Reich, mother of four sons and two daughters, speaks from the heart about the women who guided her -- the self-sacrifice and dedication of her own mother, who allowed Brie to follow her spiritual and intellectual path while raising her as an only child after a divorce when Brie was tiny, and the determined, insistent teacher who guided Brie after high school to a life-changing decision. Now, Brie guides her own six children as well as her students as the Director of Student Life at Amudim, a gap year program in Jerusalem. Brie speaks about flourishing after failure, making decisions in the moment, cultivating resilience, and suppressing parts of yourself to allow other parts to thrive. Plus, deciding whether to medicate your child, letting teens grow at their own pace, arranging vacations for teens and toddlers together, brutal honesty in preschoolers, overriding Cardinal Family Rules and proper oral hygiene.
