In such times, seeking advice from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) provides invaluable guidance on how to manage children's behavior with kindness, as Islam encourages.Learning from his gentle approach can help your child grow with love and good manners. Here are four key principles to guide you in parenting:
1. Compassion over coercion
Subhan'Allah, the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) never resorted to violence for discipline. In an era where harshness was common, he chose to envelop children in kindness.
You can adopt fun methods such as games and storytelling to gently guide your child toward good behavior. This approach not only encourages learning but also strengthens your emotional bond.
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) encouraged looking forward and not dwelling on past mistakes. By avoiding constant reminders of your child's past errors, you allow them to move forward without the burden of guilt.
Each present moment is a new opportunity for growth and learning—a gift we can offer our children.
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) taught through action. Show your child the right path, whether through praying together or demonstrating kindness toward others.
Actions speak louder than words and serve as powerful lessons that resonate in children's hearts. By witnessing your example, they are more likely to emulate such behaviors.
Wisdom in parenting also involves choosing the right moment for guidance. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) understood the importance of timing and mood when advising.
When you choose calm and receptive moments to speak, your words are more likely to be received with an open heart and mind.
By following these prophetic principles, you pave a path of mercy and wisdom for your child to follow. Reflecting these teachings in your daily parenting will, Insha’Allah, help shape your child's character in the light of Islam
