Of four parents Torah Spoke

Wise, simple, bad and one who knows not how.

The wise parent, what does he say, "What are the laws, principles and techniques that ensure success?". Answer him" These are principles, techniques and laws but do your best. Nothing ensures success. You will only know after all your children pass over and go out".

The Simple parent, what does he say? "What do I do?" So you respond to him: "Children are from G-d. Daven! May Hashem grant you Nachas!"

He who does not know to ask -  you open to him. Tell him:"Try your best and share your Love and may Hashem will make everything will come out allright."

The bad parent, what does he say: "It's all nonsense. I am right. It is the kid's job to be ...". So you also weaken his bite and say to him: "It's not all about you".

The fifth kind of parent, is an abusive parent and he(she) is not even at the table.
