Parenting & Children / Quranic teaching materials??

« on: January 17, 2010, 09:34:46 AM »

Anyone know where to find Quranic educational materials to teach and train children about submission/islam and the Quran. Most resources I have found include hadiths and traditions that I want to keep my children away from. I have printed almost every Y.E.S from submission.org and we read and go over the Quran and prayers daily but I would like something more challenging for them to read and study and learn if possible. Any ideas or websites y'all have found would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You have a great point, I do agree with you on the point that the kindness to parents relates to how your raise and treat your kids. It causes a ripple effect and will be passed on through there kids and so on and so forth. I feel like we should be role models and examples for our kids. I did not mean by saying we should raise them according to how we should live that you tell them smoking is bad and drinking is bad and then they see you doing those things. I meant more like a role model type parenting where you are showing and teaching your children and not just demanding or telling them how they should behave while you are doing contradictory actions.

Parenting & Children / Re: Hitting kids

I feel as do my husband that alot ogf parents take it past spanking. I feel that if a child is being abusive to his classmates or teachers etc that he deserves to spanked(hit back) to show that it does not feel good and that it is not the right thing to do. My husband only spanks our children when they have hit someone first. We teach them to be defenders not attackers and that by hitting first that they were being attackers. Alot of parents take hitting beyond a parenting spanking and will punch, kick and throw and beat the child up I am totally against that but I do advocate spanking in a loving parenting matter in moderation only when child is doing some serious bad aggresive hurtful behaviour.

I agree and it was hard for me to find information about rasing kids. I bought a book called raising kids in islaam because it said it had quranic support. Most of it was hadiths but some quranic qoutes on parenting. Basically the same rules we live by we should instill in our children. We have them praying at 7 and 9 and they dress modernly and fashionably but modestly and are defenders and they know they are not supposed to be mean or bullies. We teach them to be kind to parents and elders and that when they do good( works, attitude etc...) they get good and when they do bad( acts, attitudes, etc...) that they get bad. We do not teach them the parenting hadiths, eating a certain way or sleeping in one side. We keep the hadiths out of it. I highlight in all the books that I buy that have quran and sunnah sayings and I highlight the quran verses and see if they really pertain to the subject that the author is trying to support. Main point is that we should parent our kids to live by the same rules and ways we do. Kids are supposed to be kind to parents and in modern societies kids are rebellious so i think this verse was placed in the Quran to remind kids that t hey are not to rebel and treat parents badly like alot of modern day kids treat there parents and family. I also think like I said before that we shoudl raise them like how we are supposed to behave and act children see and copy what youdo and not so much what you say if your not doing it. I hope my thoughts can help but they are only my thoughts and in no way the quran or GOD.
