There is so much in the world meant just for our pleasure. Do we see it? Rebbetzin Neustadt points out that not only must we appreciate the universe that surrounds us, but we must come to a point of gratitude to our parents no matter how difficult a home we grew up in. Seeing Hashem’s goodness helps us reach a level of trust in His love even when the world seems dark and threatening.
Rebbetzin Neustadt gives a powerful lesson on responding to pain and fear. The more you acknowledge Hashem's light, the more Hashem will guard the reflecting light of your soul.

Women have a unique capacity to hold on to belief in Hashem even when He seems far away. Our imaginative sense, when used correctly, can help us hold on to the knowledge of deliverance even when that seems so unrealistic.

By giving your children more strength and security when they are young and vulnerable, they will have a greater ability when they're more independent to protect themselves from elements they've never been exposed to.

We must realize that our children have so much potential within them, and be willing to wait to see that blossom. Rebbetzin Neustadt shows practically how to be consistent and patient as we nurture the seeds given us with a positive and accepting home atmosphere.
Children are incredibly impressionable, and the younger they are the greater affect a big event has on them. Rebbetzin Neustadt warns us to take care of what our children see and read - inside and outside the home. She also explains how to steer the family towards thinking more objectively for better solutions.
Anyone who has reached a certain age understands that life presents difficulties to each individual. As much as we hope that our children will not need to suffer, it behooves us to give them the ultimate tool that will help them with their inevitable struggles. Rebbetzin Neustadt gives a powerful class on teaching emunah to our children.
