  3. Reda Soueid

    -1 be interested and do the things they like to do.

    -2 hold yourself from getting angry every time they tell you something they did and you don’t like, and advise them after.

    -3 don’t give lecture, wait and nicely talk to the after in a friendly way.

  4. Emad Ghouse

    I think most Muslims do not know what is emotional intelligence

  5. Carla Lou-Anna

    1) do something your child is interested in
    2) try not to react and listen to your children
    3) no lectures, we need to educate

  6. Iffat Zaman

    Don’t force if they are not ready to share something. Respecting their emotion or understanding the difficulty to share helps them to heal and easy to express later. Making humor of day in day out struggle is truly powerful. The challenging part is active listening

    Something I learned
    1. Stopped being judgmental
    2. Relate to the current environment rather than our childhood times
    3. Eye contact or being in the eye level

    Three ways to make your children open up to you:
    1. Show interest in the things your children are interested.
    2. Control your temper/reaction
    3. Stop lecturing.

    What if what they are sharing is not right worldly or islamically .. how do u correct them then ?

    • Haleh Banani

      Sheeba Wanee You correct them by connecting first.

  12. Aysha Tosun

    Also for teens..they do have different experiences they might be scared to share because of scared of being judged. But we need to realize as parents we are also not Psychotherapists to give them the right advice and thus should seek a professionals advice.

    • Haleh Banani

      Aysha Tosun Very sound advice! Good job!

  13. Aysha Tosun

    Fathers also need to be more understanding instead of saying this and that is haram.
