Productive Parenting
Parenting is a full-time job
How many agree?
I disagree. Parenting is an over-time job and that too without getting paid!
Your children need your time. Reading a newspaper and talking to your child is not her time, but your.
Spending time in kitchen and overlooking the child doing his homework is again not their time.
Remember, Your children need your presence more than your presents.
You can get the best of toys from Xbox to Lego. From Barbie to Doctor set, but the best gift you can give your child is your TIME.
Story of Girl, $10 and busy dad:
This is simple story of a CEO who was a very busy man. After all he was earning for his family!
One day his 6 year old daughter comes to him and say, Daddy how much do you charge for an hour.
The Dad being so busy got angry and said $50. The girl looked sad and went to bed.
After sometime the father realized that she have might needed some pocket money and was probably hinting at it. He felt sorry for her and as she was sleeping, left ten dollars ($10) under her pillow.
The next day, his daughter comes with the same $10 and says to her dad, “Daddy here is $10, can I have 15 minutes of your time?”
I hope, we don’t become father like this.
A hopeful family
For the parents to be practicing Muslims is of utmost importance for the Islamic upbringing of their children. Regarding parents, this poem is best suited:
“The parent is like a mirror, the reflection it gives, the child adopts. If the reflection is good, the child is good. If the reflection is bad, the child is bad.”
