Dear Dr. Yael

We never really know what other people are enduring. Life is so challenging. People often evaluate situations based on what they see, which is often not the whole picture.

Risky Business

Time to take a step back. This is the time to refocus and to take your dating story back into your own hands.

Brain Breaks

Because our schools follow a dual curriculum, it is often hard for teachers to fit in enough time for recess during the day.

Yankel And Leah – Chapter 8

He was surprised by her self-possession. Here she seemed smitten by him and yet she was confident. She could just as soon leave him as take him.

Dear Dr. Yael

A great technique I recommend to people who deal with difficult people is to answer a negative with a positive.

Setting Teachers Up for Success

Every classroom needs rules, but instead of writing, No calling out, frame the rules in positive terms as Raise your hand before speaking.

Yankel And Leah – Chapter 7

Yankel had a few thousand dollars put aside from tutoring younger boys and a few summers as a camp counselor. If there was a time to spend, Yankel would spend it now on these dates.

Dear Dr. Yael

It appears to me that your stonewalling is unintentional. It could be a learned response from your childhood to avoid escalating a fight or avoid discussing an uncomfortable topic.

Hurry Up And Wait!

Even if this trip is just for the sake of fun, it still holds merit.

Girls And Math

While boys’ toys often involve principles inherent in math and science, girls’ toys focus on imagination and creativity. From these early experiences, it’s easy to understand why girls gravitate to English and history and boys are drawn to math and science.

Yankel And Leah – Chapter Six

Yankel enjoyed this exchange; and as evidenced by the smiles in the room, so did the others. But at the same time he wondered about what he had just said.

I (Donut) Dissent!

I would never suggest that someone “settle” for someone who lacks mentchlichkeit. I would never want a girl to date someone as a last resort or without the confidence to say no.

Gifted But Struggling?

While many gifted children are high achievers and excel in school, many gifted students are bored, unchallenged, or dealing with co-existing learning disabilities.

Yankel And Leah -Chapter 5

It was strange that afterward, when he was back in his dormitory room, going over the evening in his mind, he could not even remember the color of Leah’s eyes.

Dear Dr. Yael

As I write this column, I wonder if in fact he is stonewalling you or if he just does some things like stonewalling. The wish to never fight or disagree in a marriage is unrealistic.

Never Enough

They accuse you of being a fat girl masquerading in a skinny girl’s body. While this is clearly ludicrous, the hurt and stigma are very real. You are thin. Isn’t that what they want?

More Than Tests

These forms of testing are great ways to know what students know, but they don’t always reflect the application of the skills they are learning every day.

Yankel and Leah – Chapter 4

Leah looked at him. She flashed a modest smile revealing small, white, polished-pearl teeth. To see them sent a fright through him.

Dear Dr. Yael

When I see couples walking together and both speaking on their phones to other people, it hurts deeply. Instead of walking and talking to each other, they are speaking to other people.

A Weighty Matter

You don’t want to date someone who isn’t skinny and don’t understand why those around you bristle at that statement. Would they prefer you date a girl you are not going to be attracted to because of her size?

Addressing The Needs Of All Learners

Starting to assess student readiness, interests, and learning styles at the very start of the school year will enable teachers to better educate their students in the manner that is appropriate for individual students.

Yankel and Leah – Chapter 3

It had never before occurred to him in such stark terms that his G-d and the G-d of his father were not the same. In fact, they were very different.

Dear Dr. Yael

I know my own parents and in-laws gave my children so much love, time, and exciting outings that are remembered to this day!

Risk It

To have him suddenly make an appearance in your life again must have been jarring, forcing you to relive the emotions you thought you had put to rest.
