I need to work on:
Routines-specific to managing a large family
Relating to preteens

Options:
Seryl Berman
Esti Hirshfeld (Rebbetzin Spetner's approach)
Chaya Juravel's class
Or something else?

I always recommend Blimie Heller. She does gentle parenting which has worked wonders for me and others

I’m taking Blimie’s class and it is sort of life-changing. Not only in the parenting arena but in my own relationship with myself. It’s paradigm-shifting.
So for the relationship with the kids that’s the one I recommend.

As for the routines, I agree they’re super-important. Does a parenting class teach that? Curious what you mean. Practical tips for a smooth morning? I look at organizing blogs etc for that

I don't know Esti hirschfeld, but I took rebetzin spetners course a couple years ago and it was gold! She didn't go into detail about the topics you mentioned though. I would confirm with the course organizer/teacher if the course covers what you think you need.

Thanks! I thought Blimie Heller's approach was more for younger children? As far as routines, I meant the discipline aspect-- getting younger kids to bed when the older ones are still up and about, making time for older kids when the younger kids need so much from me...

Blimie’s approach works for all ages, even adult relationships.. discipline is personal I believe, you have to divide your time appropriately...

I’m a grandma and a mom of teens and littles and took blimys course recently and it was eye opening not only for the way I deal with my children but for my adult relationships as well. She’s a wonderful person to have in your life and you can reach out to see if she resonates.

Yes me. I am aware that relationship is the most important thing. When my three and four year olds are jumping around instead of going to sleep I’m still stuck.

I too took blimi hellers course. It didn't help in the beginning, it takes work.
She changed my whole attitude toward kids. She teaches to have real empathy and respect for your children. Children until age 5 have no impulse control (they are not doing things to make you mad even though it sure looks like it.) I am so much more calm with my kids now. I really think it got much easier thanks to her.

I read somewhere that kids won't listen when you tell them to do such and such or to stop fighting...you need to remove them physically.

Example of this when my kids won't come to bath I physically hold her..or make it fun

I don’t know, maybe something is wrong with me but I didn’t get much out of the course. I don’t find that having empathy helps when we still need to get through the day and every little thing is a huge struggle. I went through IF and I love and cherish each child so much. For me the course just made me fearful of ruining our relationship and now I’m parenting from that place of fear and they sense it and take advantage and I’m so burnt out of them not listening to a word I say and that’s putting us in a worse place than ever. Sorry for rambling I don’t know what I’m looking for but had such a hard day and boy does it feel good to get this off my chest!

Thank you, it's important to know where the chisaron is. Some parents need that reminder about the relationship aspect. Other's need some serious tools on getting co-operation now!
