Some Tips for Raising Muslim Children by Mufti Ismail Menk
-
Praise your child, even if they get 4/10 in an exam, praise your child in front of others.
-
Never make your child feel that he or she is useless. Never favour one child over the other.
-
Every time you speak with your children, speak with respect, say “Jazakallahu khair ”, etc. Don’t use slang such as ‘gimme’, instead say ‘please give me’; use clear words, be polite and never swear.
-
You need to bear in mind when your child is young that he or she is just a child, don’t take away their playing time by treating them like adults. If you do this, they will rebel in life.
