Many Jewish families embrace a custom of speaking a blessing to their children each Friday evening and during other special occasions. The words of the blessing come from our verse today. Following the blessing, some parents take a few extra minutes to praise each child with something specific to encourage them and show affection. When children leave home, the blessing doesn't always stop. Some parents continue the tradition by bestowing the blessing over the phone. Today's One Thing Here are three things you can do this week to bless your child(ren). -
Watch for good things to say about their actions and choices and take those opportunities to tell them what you observed. -
Let them catch you speaking their praise (to a friend or family member). -
