Israel is observing Yom HaMishpacha or Family Day on February 12 and so this week on Times Will Tell we're speaking with Einat Nathan, a leading Israeli parenting guru. In April, Nathan is publishing a new English-language book, “My Everything: The Parent I want to be, the children I hope to raise.”

Nathan's path to parenting was fraught with loss. In her book, she describes in frank detail how losing twin boys to a "quiet" or stillbirth at week 39 turned her into the parent she is today. Her approach is to go back to basics: to allow children to deal with pain and work out their own problems, all the while knowing that they are supported by “reliable, relaxed parents -- that are present.” 

She is a mother of five children, ranging from 21 to 8. As host Amanda Borschel-Dan is a mother of six kids aged 17-8, the two women had a bit of a schmooze in a wide-ranging conversation on raising kids during the coronavirus pandemic and how to dispel the fantasy of the perfect family in order to enjoy the wonder of reality.
