If you feel that your spouse is overdoing the disciplining, have a way of calling him or her back to order. But don’t do it in such a way that the child will think that you are siding him. Rather call the child aside later and tell him in a mild tone, “Child, daddy or I spanked you because what you did was bad. We love you and so do not want you to do bad things. Don’t do it again so that we won’t spank you again.” Say some good words to him and show him some love. Don’t spank a child when you’re annoyed, and don’t hit a child with your bare hands. But don’t spare the rod, lest you spoil the child. Understand when your child disobeys childishly and willfully, so that you know how to discipline him or her.

Do not quarrel before your child, because children copy fast. He may be a child, but he knows what you are doing. Don’t allow your child to be bitter . Teach him to greet and respect elderly people. Teach your child how to say:
  • I am sorry

  • Please forgive me

  • I was wrong


If your child grows up to the age where he should know about sex, don’t let him learn about it first from friends and others because they may teach him the wrong thing. Teach your child everything he needs to know about sex and reproduction, the right and wrong times to do it, and the associated dangers and benefits.

Don’t lie to your child. Make promises you can fulfill. Don’t promise something you don’t mean to do, because a child takes what you say very seriously and expect you to do it. For example, If you say, “I will buy you bread,” don’t fail to buy that bread. Above all, read the Bible with your children and teach them the ways of God. Pray for your children and bless them in all places, in the open and in private.

If we want to build a society for life and unable to survive freely Ijbaali parents to give their keen interest in education and socialization, and the parents know their children's attention because it helps to enhance skills in positive child, or the parents guide their children to help them learn many things in the future , From the outset must focus their parents what they are doing if for example, I like painting or loved playing in the car, this confirms that the child has the attention of this explanation that the father of a girl How can paints or old car, and therefore the result we invested our children in the right direction See, for example, Children are unable painting at the age ten years reason is that the father was concerned with this talent among children and developed Father must encourage children to respect others and give an opportunity to change any rules of life education Thanks to the writer Adham
