I need some books/articles (or any good sites) about the responsibilities of parents towards their children and vice versa. Can the same be expected from a daughter as what most pakistani parents expect from their sons and what does Islam says about it? What exactly I want to do research about is to what extent there are differences between raising a daughter and a son in the typical pakistani culture. And to what extent does religion plays its role? I know religion is a part of culture, but yet I want to try to see both apart from eachother.
Re: Responsibilities of parents towards children & vice versa
You are raising the most important issue in my opinion. Right now I am pressed for time but the matter of fact is that the upbringing of a boy and a girl has to be different because both are different. Their nature is different, their thinking style is different, their needs and demands are different.
Sometimes, culture is just “everything metling in the same pot”. Religion can be a part of culture but to what extent, in what manner is what defines the final fate of a culture.
For a consciously thinking parent, raising the kids is one of the most important issues. It depends on what you want them to be in the future. How far you see in the future and what are your objective and from what they are inspired.
