Some children grow up feeling like they’re “on probation,” believing their worth depends on performance. In this powerful episode, Rabbi Shais Taub explains how to reverse that dynamic: to stop seeing children as a source of validation and become a steady provider of emotional safety. With practical Torah-based insights — trust in God, regulation over reactivity, and “educate the child according to his way,” this conversation reframes parenting as service, helping kids feel inherently worthy and making growth possible at any age.
