7 Mistakes made by Dads in raising their sons*

(Summarized from the book: _A Dad's guide to raising a son of character_ - by Rick Johnson)

*Mistake #1* —Emphasizing Weaknesses, Not Strengths

*Mistake #2* —Avoiding Physical Affection

*Mistake #3* —Giving Too Little Time

*Mistake #4* —Pushing for Performance

*Mistake #5* —Forgetting to Have Fun

*Mistake #6* —Fearing failure

*Mistake #7* —Abusing Your Power

*Questions for Reflection and Discussion*

1. What do you consider the three biggest mistakes you've made as a father? What did you learn from them?

2. Develop a list of strengths and weaknesses your son possesses. How can you help nurture his strengths so he succeeds in life?

3. Chart the actual amount of time you spend each day with your son over a week's time. How does this amount of time differ from what you thought it would be?

Allaah gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him."And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
