Good Point. We seem to be living in a culture that promotes an “I can control everything” mind-set. There’s a shiur or a sefer or pamphlet for every topic showing how we can fix virtually every problem there is. The truth is we have little control over what others do, including our children. The canard that kids go off the derech because we don’t sing zemiros as the shabbos table is just that, a canard. People have the free will to do whatever they want and the most we can do is to try to control OUR OWN behavior.
