Don’t Tell Them What—Tell Them How

The right way to educate is not to tell a child what to do. If a child asks, explain only how it should be done.

And what do you do before they ask? Use a variety of tactics to stimulate them into wanting to do what is right for them. The desire must come from the child. It may sound complicated, but it is the right way to educate.

The wisdom of Kabbalah opposes any kind of pressure. It explains that everything advances and persists only by man’s will. What we must do is only to evoke the right desire.
