“I read every book that I could get my hands on about parenting which was very helpful, but it wasn’t until I actually joined a group of like-minded moms who learned and grew together discussing parenting that things really started to click for me.”
Q and A with Leah from Miami, Florida
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: I have six children and am passionate about raising good children, creating supportive families, personal growth, and reaching goals. I am an only child and wanted to have a large family, which I did! I am working on building the best positive parenting FB group for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and busy moms who want to accomplish their goals but still create a warm, nurturing environment for their children and families.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: I originally majored in psychology, then became a teacher. I eventually earned an LBS1 and became a learning and behavioral specialist and then earned a master’s degree in education. Parenting didn’t come easily to me initially. I had many goals that I wanted to accomplish and the physical and emotional demands of raising a large family were overwhelming. I read every book that I could get my hands on about parenting which was very helpful, but it wasn’t until I actually joined a group of like-minded moms who learned and grew together discussing parenting that things really started to click for me. That is why I decided to create this group for moms with goals.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: The parenting group will clarify timeless principles of parenting and why some of the popular modes of parenting may not be working for moms today. We discuss the real problems that parents are having today with the goal of helping them become more confident, joyful, and skilled at building the calm, nurturing homes that everyone wants for their families. I grew up in Baltimore and, being an only child, I longed for siblings to play and interact with. Because of this, I wanted to build a large family, which aligned with my religious beliefs. I also believe in the power of family being a tremendous support throughout life.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: I think women have tremendous power and above all a unique insight that literally enhances the world. Women are using that insight in great ways and will continue to do so.
I have written two children’s books and an extensive Jewish curriculum for middle and high school students.
