Re: Raising boys to be good men
We should serve te kids and show love and affection until 7 years, then discipline them, and make them dutiful to us until they are 14 , then slowly give them responsibilities and befriend them by the age of 21 , meaning use them for advice.
Honour them by making them lead in prayers, as well as follow … Let them drive the car while you sit in the passenger seat.
Reason with them from a young age and tell them the importance of respecting their mother.
To treat all girls like they are sisters, tell them that Allah made girls delicate … So be kind to them and say that women are mothers of nations so treat them all like princesses … Which is with respect, valour and wherever possible with servitude.
Husbands to respect their wives, sisters and mothers to show this behaviour.
Well said psyah.
You mentioned showing respect through your behavior? What do you mean by that? What kind of behavior shows your son that you respect his mother, his aunties and his grandmothers?
