What To Learn With The Kids During Quarantine [#14907]

August 24, 2021

QUESTION:

When we are quarantined at home, what can a mother learn with her preteen daughters, and what can a father learn with his sons who are between the ages of 6-10?

ANSWER:

[For both the boys and girls], learn with them a small line of Mesillas Yesharim, and explain it to them with stories that bring out the point being discussed. Learn the weekly parsha with them, sprinkled with stories. Discuss with them the Torah’s view and how a believing Jew should look at all of the events taking place now. For little boys, learn Mishnayos or even Gemara with them, even if they haven’t yet started to learn these subjects, and by doing so you will be opening a window for them to get into it.
