One thing which is really, really important that I found that has

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

benefited us immensely is reading to the children when they're

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

young, from stories of profits and others. What that does is that it

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15

creates a love for books, because they see the mother or the father

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

reading from a book. So, and it's a really interesting story before

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

you go to sleep, right, and you've got a time to think about it. And

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

it's associated to a book so that when they grow up until you give

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

them a phone, then it or Satya Nadella or some purchase God and

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

then you basically mess everything up. But until then, they love

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

reading was that's what I experience. And plus those stories

00:00:34 --> 00:00:39

at bedtime young, the stories of the prophets and the sahaba. They

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

are immensely powerful in conveying to them the right kind

00:00:43 --> 00:00:48

of manners and conduct and behavior and personalities and

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

role models. We invested in a lot of books, right and my wife used

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

to read a lot to them.
