Like, the more we talk about it, the dumber we get. This is why I was so happy to read Dasee Berkowitz\u2019s new book, Becoming a Soulful Parent, and talk with her about it \u2013 because what she offers is a new way of talking about parenting that actually has the potential to make us wiser, and possibly even help us grow as people. Berkowitz, Director of the Becoming a Soulful Parent program at the Ayeka Institute in Jerusalem, explains the essence of her approach as asking ourselves this question, originally posed to the first human by his Creator \u2013 Ayeka? Where are you? \u2013 as a prompt for introspection: \u201cWhere are we as parents? What\u2019s triggering us? What\u2019s inspiring us? What can we imagine being different? Where are we stuck?\u201d With a model that invites us to \u201creally listen to ourselves and embrace our own vulnerability\u201d \u2013 she offers a refreshing contrast to the \u201cparent expert\u201d approach. By her own account of her experience leading parenting workshops, being honest and real about her experience invites other parents to be honest and real about theirs, and listens deeply to each other.
