TRAIN UP A CHILD
Interesting thoughts for parents
Invaluable advice by Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim from his lecture on DNA:
1. If your children lie to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.
2. If your children are not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you've lost them.
3. If your children have poor self-esteem, it is because you advise them more than you encourage them.
4. If your children do not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.
5. If your children take things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don't let them chose what they want.
6. If your children are cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.
7. If your child does not respect other people's feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your children, you order and command them.
8. If your children are too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.
9. If your children are excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don't successfully complete it.
10. If your children intentionally disturb you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.
11. If your children are openly defied, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don't follow through.
12. If your children are secretive, it is because they don't trust that you won't blow things out of proportion.
13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.
14. If your children doesn't listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to make decisions.
15. If your children rebel it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right or wrong ....
