Sajid Ahmed Umar – Successful Parenting #08

			We know the teenage problem today, when children are searching for independence, and their minds are
developing, and their bodies are maturing, and they're feeling this emotion that they never felt
before. And they're looking for answers. But mother is not at home, or Father is not at home, or
mother's at home, but she's not interested. So what happens,
		

			the child's mind will never remain empty.
		

			It'll never remain empty. If you don't teach your child,
		

			the guidance teacher at school will teach your child the program on television will teach your
child, the man on the radio will teach your child, the neighbor next door will teach your child if
you don't teach your child and be a true guardian to the child, that the child will adopt several
other guardians. And then when you see this child moving away based on different information and
different advice, and different Shura that the child is getting, now you you get upset and you say
subhanallah I'm having trouble with my child, and what's wrong with my child. And why my child and
why this and why is that and we start pointing fingers is his fault. It's her fault. It's the
		

			school's fault. But as we point fingers, we forget that there's three other fingers pointing back at
us.
		

			A Charity begins at home
		

			begins with you that how did the situation come about? Surely you are in control of the situation.
So how did it come about?
