Youth Heartline's CPSP is unique in the Taos community in that the Talking About Touching curriculum we use for pre-school through third grade is supported by 25 years of research about its effectiveness. We know that children learn best in a safe, trusting environment. The agency that created the TAT curriculum, Committee for Children, is heavily invested in assuring that the curriculum and its instructors establish this safety. Though the fact that child abuse exists in Taos is not a popular topic of conversation, nevertheless it is a reality, and one that actually needs to be directly addressed through education and open community dialogue. It is a fact that the more readily a community confronts child abuse, the more such incidents decline in that community. This is true because secrecy and denial create an environment in which abuse can and does flourish. The worst fact about an atmosphere that fosters child abuse—secrecy—is that the abused child is extremely likely to become an abuser himself or herself.

Prevention of abuse is the most effective way to approach this problem, and the most promising in the effort to end abuse altogether. Addressing this important topic when children are very young increases the likelihood of providing a safe environment for them. But in the end, it is the adults around children who are really responsible for provision of a safe and healthy environment for children. It is our responsibility as a community to be able to talk to each other about child abuse and how we can keep children safe. Child Personal Safety Project supports and informs parents, teachers, and other caretakers in this effort.
Please do your part to participate in this community dialogue.

Your support of the Child Personal Safety Project is of absolute importance. We thank you for the financial assistance that you can provide because you share our belief that education and discussion of the facts are the path to a community that is safe for children.

August 14, 2013 / 8 Elul 5773
by Rabbi Noach Orlowek

www.aish.com/f/p/How-to-Communicate-with-Your-Kids.html

Amazing, isn’t it, the number of times we tell kids things and they just don’t seem to get it. They are our children, and therefore they must be brilliant, good-natured, and wonderful – so why don’t they listen? They seem to be able to listen and "get it" when their friends talk! Is there something wrong?

Yes, there is!
.

— Words Are Not Enough

I was once approached by a parent who was having problems with his six-year-old. I asked what he had tried before seeing me. He said that he would lecture his child and tell him in no uncertain terms that what he was doing was wrong. I asked him if this had helped when he, the parent, had been a child, and he said that it hadn’t. He also admitted that this approach wasn’t working with his child either. Why continue to do this? I asked. He said he didn’t know what else to do.

Of course we need to talk to our children. We use words all the time, speaking to even very young children, even infants. But we must remember that talking is not the primary way that we communicate our most important messages to our children. Because they are more emotional than adults, children react more readily to nonverbal messages.

This does not mean that we shouldn’t speak to our children. Certainly words are ultimately a primary way of communication, but even verbal communication has strong nonverbal components.

Rav Shlomo Wolbe, z"l, in a remarkable exposition on speech, refers to proper speech as a harp.[1] Just as when someone plays a harp, a combination of many factors give the sound its proper resonance, so effective speech is made up of a combination of the words spoken, the emotion behind the words, and the character of the speaker. The emotions and the character of the speaker are powerful nonverbal components in maximizing the effectiveness of our speech.

If our words carry greater import when the nonverbal parts of speech are utilized in communication between adults, then certainly this is true when we speak to our children. It is important, therefore, to define the nonverbal parts of speech that can give impetus to our words. Let us mention the most important ones.
.

— Tone of voice

The Talmud tells us[2] that the members of our household accept authority when words are spoken softly. A soft tone of voice suggests self-control, and people are more likely to follow someone who is in control of himself. A person may shout hysterically that he is in control of himself, but the nonverbal message is far more powerful, and it is the one that will leave its mark.
.

— Eye contact

Rav Yitzchok Hutner, zt"l, tells us that a person’s emotional reality is apparent in his eyes, as the saying goes, "The eyes are the window to the soul."[3] When we make eye contact, we are accessing the deepest recesses of the person. It is for this reason that a look into someone’s eyes is considered an emotional message, whether of love or hatred. Let us make soft, loving eye contact with our children when we speak to them. Not an unrelenting stare, but enough to transmit our nonverbal emotions to them.
.

— Touch

The Vilna Gaon teaches us[4] that touch is a primary means of transmitting emotion. When touch is coupled with earnest words, it has an enormous effect. Touch is so powerful an emotional tool that the Torah has placed special stress on where and how it can be used. This topic is beyond the scope of this work, but for our purpose, parents certainly need to be aware of the importance of harnessing the power of touch to communicate with their children.

With older children, if there is a strain in the relationship, touch must be used cautiously. It is very personal and could be considered invasive or aggressive if employed by someone to whom the child does not feel close.
.

— Sincerity

Before speaking with anyone, take the time to feel deeply what you are about to say. This is doubly true with children. This brings to mind the famous saying "Words that come from the heart enter the heart."[5]
Children can sense very quickly how sincere you are. This has to do with your honesty, with how much you believe in what you are saying, and with the degree to which you are prepared to back up your words.

The most eloquent words will be ineffectual if the child senses that you are not really ready to stand behind your words and enforce them or that you do not really believe in what you are saying. In either case, your words will be flouted with impunity; worse, you will be considered a hypocrite in the child’s eyes.

Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l,[6] explained that we must be sincere and be true models of what we want our children to be based on God's demand that we be a holy nation since He is holy. God is saying, so to speak, that I can demand holiness from you, because I Myself am holy.

Yes, sometimes we may fall short from what we aspire to be, but certainly we must be totally in line in our hearts, totally sincere, in what we say to our children. Otherwise, we are teaching them hypocrisy, and we are sure to eventually lose their respect. From there to losing them to the street is but a short step.
.

— Facial expression

The Prophet tells us that a person’s facial expression is a powerful guide to the emotions that are behind his words. It says, "The face testifies against them."[7] It is no coincidence that the Hebrew word for "face," panim, is related to the Hebrew word penim, "inside," for the face tells us what the person is thinking and feeling.

The Talmud teaches us that it is better to show another person "the white of your teeth" (i.e., give them a smile) than to give him a drink of milk.[8] Rav Avigdor Miller, zt"l, says[9] that this means that even when a person has come in from a long walk on a hot day, and he really needs a drink, a smile does more than a cold, refreshing glass of milk.

Young children are especially sensitive to our facial expressions, and they react to what they see on our faces long before they comprehend what we are saying to them. Children are emotional beings, and the sense of sight touches their emotions before they can even understand the words we’re saying to them.

All this is a powerful argument for paying special attention to the nonverbal components that come with the words we utter.

It is told that Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, zt"l, avoided using a telephone for important conversations.[10] The nonverbal parts of speech that we have mentioned are far more powerful in person than over the phone.
.

— Other factors

In addition to the five nonverbal elements just mentioned, there are other factors that can affect the success or failure of your communication with your child. They are also nonverbal and deeply influence how your words will be taken. For instance:

… 1. Be conscious of the setting. Our surroundings deeply affect what goes on in our heads. Just as a child is less likely to open up to a principal when he is seated on the other end of a huge mahogany desk than if the principal takes him out for pizza – or at least sits next to him on the same side of the desk – so would a parent do well to pay heed to the surroundings that he chooses when talking to a child.

Not only is the child affected by the location where the conversation is taking place – so is the parent. At home the parent is often distracted and can’t give the child full or continuous attention. This lack of attention is a deep nonverbal message. When a person is given full attention, the respect he is accorded encourages him to express his feelings more freely. If I feel respected, I feel hopeful that my words will be respected, and that encourages me to open up.

Also, the fact that the parent went through the trouble to go to a setting more conducive to communication sends a powerful message to the child. He realizes how important he is to the parent.

Take a child out when you need to speak about something sensitive. Turn off your cell phone; even better, make sure your child sees you turn it off. He needs to see that you consider the time with him important and you don’t want to be disturbed. Try to make the environment as relaxing and nonthreatening as possible. And remember, don’t save these kinds of encounters only for lectures; otherwise, the child will get uneasy just at the suggestion of a "little talk" outside the home.

A nine-year-old stole his aunt’s cell phone and then denied it. His mother, who enjoyed a generally good relationship with her child, drove to a place that was quiet and green. Then she began to cry. When her son asked what was wrong, she said she was hurt he had lied to her. The child, in those calm and beautiful surroundings, apologized and promised never to lie again. There is no question that if there had not been a good relationship in place, the tears and the environment would not have helped, but there is also no doubt that the serene surroundings contributed to an atmosphere that fostered openness and closeness.

… 2. Be calm, focused – and listen! It is important to put other matters out of your mind when you are talking to your child. This helps the child to relax and open up. It also lets you to see matters with more perspective. Thinking about stresses at work will not help you be patient as you discuss a behavioral issue with your child.

Cultivating calmness and focus also helps you be a better listener, which, ironically, is an enormous factor in good communication. The best way to be a good conversationalist is to be a good listener first! Listening is in itself a powerful, vital element in establishing a good relationship with a child. It is part of the effort that we make to show our children that we are trying to understand them. One of the greatest compliments that we can give our children is to make the sincere effort to understand them. Then there is a great hope that they will make the same effort.
.

— Turning Ideas into Action

Find ways to show your child – nonverbally – that you have heard and respected what he said. A couple of examples of nonverbal messages:

… 1. Ask the child about something she said to you yesterday or, better yet, some time before. It can be an idea the child stated or a worry or any other emotion that the child shared with you. Your remembering what she said sends a powerful nonverbal message that you hear and respect her.

… 2. Repeat to the child what he shared with you and how much you enjoyed or found meaningful what he told you.

Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you
Its late september and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel Im being used
Oh maggie I couldnt have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and thats what really hurt

The morning sun when its in your face really shows your age
But that dont worry me none in my eyes youre everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didnt need to coax
Oh, maggie I couldnt have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and thats a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
Mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh maggie I couldnt have tried anymore
You lured me away from home cause you didnt want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldnt leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin hand
Oh maggie I wish Id never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But Im as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish Id never seen your face
Ill get on back home one of these days

FATHER AND SON LYRICS – ROD STEWART

www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Father-And-Son-lyrics-Rod…

[Originally by Cat Stevens]

[Father]
It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

[Son]
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

[Father]
It’s not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

[Son]
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

by Iliana and Eli Glovinsky

www.aish.com/f/m/5-Ways-to-Revitalize-Your-Marriage.html

Last year my husband and I had the luxury of taking a year off to travel the world, spend several months in Israel learning Torah and exploring our spirituality. This experience proved to be invaluable, not only because of the travel itself but because we had a chance to spend so much time together, learn together, grow together and focus on the relationship. Learning Torah while exploring the world and ourselves helped us to improve the vivacity, enthusiasm and passion in our relationship.

You don't need to take a year off to revitalize your marriage. Everything we learned during our trip can be applied at home on an everyday basis. Here are five important points we learned that can strengthen your marriage.

—1. If You Want to Improve Your Marriage, Start with Yourself.

We tend to think that our marriage would be better if only our spouse would change some of his or her behaviors. "Why can’t she be more organized?" "Why can't he help out more at home?" "Why can't she stop spending so much?" Stop demanding things from your spouse. A marriage is a system. If you change one of the components, the whole system changes and reorganizes. If you change your behavior for the better you'll be pleasantly surprised to see that your spouse will eventually respond to the change in a positive way.

And it goes both directions; if you introduce negative behaviors like criticism, demands, or contempt, your spouse will also definitely change…for the worse. So do something to become a better person, whether it is spending more time with your spouse, planning a weekly date night, dealing with others kindly, etc. And give and then give some more, without demands or expectations of anything in return.

— 2. Make Your Marriage a Priority.

A large percentage of divorces are unnecessary. You can really love the one you're with if you put your heart and energy into it. The "growing apart" phenomenon can be remedied and avoided if you make your marriage your priority with the willingness to constantly invest in it. The more you invest, the more you love. In actuality, your spouse should come even before your children. If the couple is doing well, the children will be just fine. Take time to be together, stay in touch during the day, surprise each other, tell your wife that you love her, be grateful to your husband, go out just the two of you, take up an activity together and learn Torah. It will definitely make a difference.

— 3. You and Your Spouse are One Being.

When the first human was created, he was comprised of two sides, the male and female; Adam and Eve were one. Once separated, man and woman become two different entities but nevertheless they crave for that oneness that experienced at the very beginning.

When a couple gets married, the couple becomes something more than the sum of its parts. There is a union that is not him plus her but goes beyond – it's a third identity, it becomes one. If we can really understand this, then we realize that there is no room for many of the destructive interactions that couples go through. Every time that we criticize each other, yell, put down, or lie to our spouse, we are hurting ourselves; it's like self-inflicted pain. Whenever we complain and think about our needs and what we want from this relationship without taking into account the needs of our spouse, we are creating a void. It's like feeding only half of our body and letting the other half starve. When we solve our conflicts by separating, distancing or divorcing, we are cutting off our limbs. It's that painful.

A couple is not a team working together but one body and soul, one system. That's why the pain of my spouse is my pain; his or her happiness is my happiness.

— 4. Protect Your Marriage.

Adam and Eve were the only two people in the world; they had no other choices. Therefore, they had to put their best effort and energy toward making the relationship work. They had to be committed to each other. Nowadays, we are exposed to too many people (whether it's in person or online) and a big challenge that couples face is the lack of boundaries. People are constantly comparing their spouses with other men and women in the outside world. The possibility of being with someone else becomes an option. There is too much mingling between men and women. We are constantly exposed to images of the perfect couple: more beautiful, more romantic, and more successful. Also, we are bombarded with messages about fulfilling one's needs at the expense of everyone else's.

In order to preserve our marriage, we need to create very firm boundaries, erect thick walls that keep the marriage separate from others and safe. This provides the marriage with an intimate space to develop that no one can trespass.

— 5. Give Up on the Right to be Right.

The cost of "being right" or "winning" is often a decrease in love and closeness. In order to prove that we are correct and our spouse is wrong, we argue, we lecture, we sometimes become arrogant and even hurt feelings. The benefit of "winning" and proving that we are right is not worth the cost. We might prevail at the expense of deteriorating our relationship. So refrain from the urge of correcting everything that your spouse says or does. Shalom bayit, domestic harmony, is more important than being right.

Try putting these tips to good use and notice just how much your marriage improves.
