בס״ד · Flagship cohort · Interest list open
Foundations is the flagship Chinuch Compass cohort — five months, 16 live classes, and one complete framework for responding to your child with calm authority, so daily struggles become moments of connection instead of battles.
Course material reviewed in depth and endorsed by R’ Eliyahu M. Klugman shlita.
The promise
By the end of these five months, you’ll have a way of thinking about chinuch that actually holds — so when things get hard, you know what to do and why.
Not a stack of scripts you forget under pressure.
Interest list
Enrollment opens ahead of Rosh Chodesh Kislev. Join the list to hear first — and to get first-look pricing before it’s public. The cohort is small by design.
Who it’s for
You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the charts. You’ve asked the Rav. And you still feel like you’re failing with this one child. You’re piecing together advice from a dozen sources and white-knuckling through each hard day, hoping something eventually clicks. Foundations is built for you — whether you’re home midday and join the live noon sessions, or you work and take the recording path.
This is for you if…
This is probably not for you if…

Our core principles
Chinuch is more than rules, techniques, or managing day-to-day behavior. It begins with a mindset — a way of seeing our children with clarity, intention, and a genuine understanding of who they are.
“Today, few people realize that chinuch of children is an art that requires study and attentiveness.”
— R' Shlomo Wolbe zt”l
Each child has a unique derech. What works for one may not work for another. Our role is to observe carefully, understand their nature, and guide them along the path that fits them.
“Carefully study the spiritual make-up of the children Hashem gives you… this is the only way to direct each one on the path unique to him.”
— R' Samson Raphael Hirsch zt”l
Effective discipline doesn't come from pressure or harsh reactions. Children flourish when we respond with confidence, calm, and positivity — even when their behavior pushes our limits.
“The more the parents are confident and avoid anger and hostility, the more the children will obey.”
— R' Shlomo Hoffman zt”l
Growing a child's greatness doesn't start with correcting them. It starts with seeing their potential — and helping them see it too.
“Believing in the child is the strongest force that advances a child… staying calm and encouraging will resolve the blocks.”
— R' Shlomo Hoffman zt”l
What you’ll learn
What’s included
The recording path is a real way to do the program — you watch each session on your own time, bring your questions to the private group, and come to the Q&A sessions for direct time with me. You’re a full member, not a backup.
The investment
Includes all 16 live classes, the 4 Q&A sessions, the private group, the full curriculum workbook, and one private implementation session for your specific child. Payable monthly. Scholarships available for families who need them.
Foundations runs as one live cohort a year — Rosh Chodesh Kislev through Purim.
Real people, real results
“It literally changed my perspective on parenting and even shifted how I relate to myself. It really helped me see what I want to do as a parent and how to get there.”
“It's a מהלך החיים and the ultimate. These classes are structured to make sure you work on yourself and on chinuch and change your whole outlook. It demands of you to implement right away — and it's really changing my family dynamics.”
“A year later I am still going strong. People look at me like I know what I'm doing. I don't panic when my son is falling apart at the park. I know how to teach my little kids the middos I want to teach them.”
“My home is a much more positive environment. I feel calmer. My children are becoming more independent, more respectful, and more caring to each other.”
“My daughter used to be my most complex child; now she tells me when she needs to reset before the explosions. A miracle.”
“I love learning the Gedolim's attitudes toward chinuch and seeing how this approach is actually rooted in Torah and Yiddishkeit. I really like the improvement I feel I'm making.”
Questions
That makes sense — most programs give you tips for specific situations instead of a framework that changes how you think. Foundations works on your mindset and your responses first, which is where lasting change actually begins.
Read the answerYes. The recording path is a real way to do the program, not a backup. You watch each session on your own time, bring your questions to the private group, and come to the Q&A sessions for direct time with me. You're a full member of the cohort.
Read the answerYes. There's so much confusion about how to parent a child before and after a diagnosis. This approach builds a child rather than breaking him, and it's used with tremendous results for children with emotional and behavioral challenges. Because it's fully in line with Torah hashkafa, it turns out that all children need this kind of chinuch.
Read the answerSimply — yes. It's always best when both parents learn together, but when one parent implements it (especially the mother), it creates major shifts in the parent-child dynamic and the whole atmosphere at home. Most often the father becomes curious about the changes and starts learning it too.
Read the answerThe principles apply from toddlers through teens — roughly 18 months to 18 years and beyond. We also learn to apply the approach to ourselves, so we grow our own greatness along the way.
Read the answerThat's worth a real conversation. Many mothers find that when they explain what they've already tried and why this is different — a framework rooted in Torah, not just techniques — their husbands see the value. You're welcome to share the materials with him before deciding.
