But if the middos aren't based on Torah, then how can they stay?

You're absolutely right, too, Crayon. I don't think they can even get started without Torah.

(By the way I'm still trying to answer the question myself.) Maybe to learn Torah - then someone would learn about working on their middos too.

Put the words:

self esteem teaching

into google, and you'll find Lesson Plans, how to teach it, etc. etc. etc.

Be nice to others. Share your toys.
Be polite, respect your elders.
eat healthy?


THE most IMPORTANT thing?!

It's a hard one.
I would think to teach yiras shomayim is the most important, because then hopefully everything else falls into place.
And I know it's a feeling, not a practical lesson, but I hardly think the most important thing will be something you teach in a one-off lesson.

I dont really care what google search finds. Instilling self esteem in a person takes a way of behaving with them, you dont teach it in a 45 minute class lesson.

I would say respect for elders especially my husband and myself. It is hard but when accomplished it is well benifited. My parents engrained it into us since a young age and I can't believe what I see by some people that respect was the last thing but torah and learning all day is the main thing. Respect I think is really important.

yes, because your parents were a model of respectful behavior, themselves. and children copy what they see.

I read that the single most important message we (mothers and fathers and teachers) have to give over to our children, both at home and in school, is "ata bechartanu" - the fact that we are a chosen nation. Without it, says Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg (Ner Israel) a'h, everything disappears.

He asks - why is belief in Moshiach's coming one of the 13 principles of faith. His answer is that without Moshiach the whole concept of "ata bechartanu" is a joke. We are the lowest and we are oppressed - where is the ata bechartanu? He says Olam Haba is not enough because that is an individual experience. Ata bechartanu is only seen from the concept of Moshiach.
