From Rescuer to Guide Book Review
Yakira Yedidia offers such a fresh and practical guide for today’s parents. With warmth and real wisdom, she shows why the old “rescue” approach doesn’t work anymore, and how shifting into the role of a guide helps kids grow stronger, more confident, and more independent.
What I love most is that her book isn’t just theory, it’s full of real-life stories and down-to-earth steps any parent can try. It’s more than parenting advice; it’s a roadmap for raising capable, emotionally healthy young adults in a fast-changing world.
Every parent needs to read this. It’s a powerful reminder that the best thing we can give our kids isn’t rescue, it’s resilience.

This will be a hit! Every gen Z person should read this book!
I'm on the plane from Miami to LA reading Yakira Yedidia's book and I absolutely adore it! Wow, she did an excellent job and I am not even done. The clarity in the way she express her ideas in a way that are so thoughtful and easy to understand. The messages that are so powerful. This will be a hit! Every gen Z person should read this book!

Hi Yakira, Have been reading your book…. Every page I turn, my reaction is… this is me. As I keep reading, I find myself in tears….assuming it’s a fear of letting go, it’s a feeling of being pulled from many sides of life… marriage, kids, mom, work. Still not done, but want to thank you for giving me the book. I know this book is meant for parents helping kids to grow and be independent, but somehow it is pushing me to open my eyes wider, look at all the corners of my life😘

An excellent first step toward a more meaningful and productive life. I finished reading both books and am very impressed with the richness of your metaphors, the creativity of slogans, and the GenZ language you used.

I didn’t realize how much wasn’t mine to carry.
Honestly, I didn’t expect much. I’ve done therapy, coaching, journaling, you name it. But something clicked during the session. I realized how much chaos I was holding that wasn’t even mine. I cried a little after, but in a good way. For the first time in forever, I felt calm and not guilty about it.
Beth
Didn’t think one session could make a difference, but wow. My head feels lighter today.

Hebrew Guru Book- GREAT! Easy quick learning, and now I'm confident...
GREAT! Easy quick learning, and now I'm confident in my reading ability! This is the best book I could have hoped for, to learn to very quickly and easily read and write Hebrew letters, while integrating a few basic words for Bible study and Hebrew prayer knowledge! Also, while integrating a few basic grammatical fundamentals without being dense study! This book offers several types of games in each segment. To learn to read, write, match sounds, catch on to new vocabulary important to Hebrew prayers, etc. I finished this book within 3 or 4 days, and ordered the next one! …but don't let the compact amount of time For completion caused you to think that you will get less out of this work bug! In fact, I was surprised to have learned so much so fast from this book! And not only did I feel like I learned a lot in a very short amount of time with this book, but I felt very confident in my reading/ recognition and pronunciation ability by the time I was done with it! That was very delightful and pleasing! I'm used to doing a lot of study and feeling like I don't get a lot out of it with some workbooks! But this one felt like the absolute opposite! I think it also had to do with the number of exercises there were for practice, because it allowed your brain to digest the knowledge and practice reading, writing, pronunciation, recognition of words, etc. In various forms, instead of just with one type of practice. So it really makes the brain process everything in a way that you remember it!

Highly Recommended! Hebrew Guru - Amazon Book Review
Highly Recommended! I never learned Hebrew growing up and now that my children are… I decided it’s time! This series introduces a few letters at a time without childish activities. I enjoy the colored vowels which helps with my dyslexia and also gives a break for standard black and white. But one great feature is its focused on learning Hebrew without reading too much “history of it” like other adult books. I’m a busy homeschooling mother of 4 boys who have various learning difficulties so this allows me to practice during the little time I have free!

Simple but powerful.
This work is like having someone hand you a flashlight when you didn’t realize you were in the dark.
