Episode 36: Up Close & Personal with Israeli Mom, Lihi Netzer

The Heartful Parent Podcast

My friend and colleague, Lihi Netzer joins me on the podcast today. Lihi is a fellow Positive Discipline Educator and Parent Coach. She focuses her work on pre-teens and teens struggling with social emotional challenges. Today, Lihi is here for a different reason.

Lihi lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and she is sharing her personal account of living and parenting through the events that happened in Israel on October 6 & 7, 2023. Lihi not only shares her story, but also talks about parenting her own 10 & 13 year olds during a very scary time. All of this through the lens of her expertise as a Parent Coach and a Life Coach for teens and pre-teens.

Lihi’s story and perspective are inspiring. She talks about strength versus resilience. She speaks about how to secure the connection with your kids before the hard conversations can even begin. And she gets very raw and real about what it was like during and after the attacks, as a person, as a parent, and as someone who supports other parents and teens.
