*Evaluate Your Relationship with Your Children!!!*
Healthy relationships with children are a crucial aspect of parenting. Here are some indicators of a healthy relationship:
Recently, I conducted an interactive workshop on parenting, where I prepared some questions for parents to assess the strength of their relationship with their children. I'm sharing these questions here for the benefit of all:
1. Can your children share all their problems with you?
2. Do your children enjoy spending time with you?
3. Do your children feel happy when you come home?
4. Are your children interested in knowing about you?
5. Do your children prefer spending time with you or with their mobile devices?
6. How many hours do you spend talking to your children in a 24-hour period?
7. Do you smile when talking to your children?
8. Do you maintain eye contact with your children when talking to them?
9. What topics do you usually discuss with your children - religious, worldly, or educational?
10. Do you discuss Allah, the Prophet (PBUH), faith, jurisprudence, and moral education with your children?
11. Are you aware of your child's likes and dislikes?
12. Are your children aware of your likes and dislikes?
13. Do you know your child's strengths and weaknesses?
14. Do you want your children to become like you?
15. Do you encourage your children?
16. Do you regularly meet with your child's teachers?
17. Do you discuss your child's upbringing with your spouse?
18. What is your physical relationship like with your child (e.g., hugging, kissing)?
Feel free to add more questions!
