When Your Enemy Becomes Your Teacher
Two men stand before a room full of skeptical parents whose children have been court-ordered to a wilderness camp for troubled teens. One is Arab, the other Jewish-former enemies whose fathers were killed by each other's ethnic cousins. Yet here they are, running Camp Moriah together, about to deliver a message no one expects: "Your children aren't the problem. You are." Lou Herbert, a former Marine and successful businessman, bristles at this suggestion. His son Cory is the one with drug offenses and a court record-how could Lou possibly be the issue? But as Yusuf al-Falah and Avi Rozen begin their workshop, they reveal something startling: most of our effort goes into "dealing with things going wrong" when it should focus on "helping things go right." We correct, criticize, and control-yet genuine change emerges from teaching, listening, and building authentic relationships. This isn't just parenting advice; it's a fundamental truth about human influence that applies whether you're managing employees, navigating marriage, or trying to understand why your teenager won't speak to you.
