*How to communicate good manners to your children ...*
1. When entering the house greet your children with hugs and/or kisses. This should help develop their sense of love and affection.
2. Be good to your neighbours and never backbite e.g. never speak ill of other drivers when on the road because your children listen, absorb and emulate.
3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them too. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.
4. When driving them to school, don't always play CDs or listen to the radio, but rather tell them stories yourself or update them on current events and source their opinions. This will greatly improve their worldview!
5. Read to them a short story and even a religious one – it doesn't take much time, but is very helpful in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories.
6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable clothes even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out!
7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self-confidence.
8. Ask your children's permission before entering their rooms. Don't just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.
9. Apologize to your children if and/or when you have made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be accommodative, humble and polite.
10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you "didn't mean it" and was "only joking". It will really hurt and demonize them spiritually to know that you do NOT take them seriously.
11. Show respect to your children's privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem. And in turn they too will respect you.
12. Don't expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don't take it personally. But be patient and consistent.
13.Pray with them. Show them how to pray. Lead by example. And try as much as possible to relate your family and individual situation to quranic teachings and instruction.
May God bless us as we raise our children.
