What if your struggling teen isn’t 'broken,' but simply needs a different approach?
In this insightful and inspiring episode, Raizy sits down with Dena Gorkin, founder and principal of Bnos Chomesh High School, to explore the complex world of raising teenagers—especially those who don’t fit the mold. Whether you're dealing with a neurodivergent child, navigating the chaos of ADHD, or simply trying to understand what "normal" teenage behavior looks like, this conversation will provide invaluable guidance.
Dena shares her wisdom on how to support divergent thinkers and nurture a strong, proud family identity—even when the journey is far from smooth. She discusses the innovative methods she uses to run her high school, which is unlike typical institutions. Bnos Chomesh is designed to meet the needs of girls who don’t fit the conventional mold, creating a space where each student can truly shine. You'll be fascinated by the school's unique approach to monitoring progress and the specialized support system that ensures every girl gets the attention she needs to thrive.
