Salam Alaikum sisters. 🌸Hope you are having peaceful Ramadan. May Allah SWT accept your duas and fasting🤲🏻
This time is important to slow down, to contemplate and to reflect on yourself ( your behaviours, thoughts, attitudes, motivations and desires). This is time to improve your relationships with others, especially with kids and your family members.
A reminder today is about:
HUMAN BEING
A child is a HUMAN BEING and we only call him / her a child temporarily.
That doesn't mean we need to have same expectations as we expecting from adults, but it does mean that he/ she deserves the same (or more) respect as your much-loved and respected adult.
This means - respect the child as a person, see and understand his/ her development, see the child in front of your eyes, respect his/ her mind, personality, body, capabilities.
And remember, raising a child is not controlling the child, but it’s having relationship with another person.*
And how you treat your child it teaches him/ her about you, about relationships, and about himself/ herself.
*Relationship ( relation) means being connected.
