GUIDELINE FOR MUSLIM PARENTS:

FAMILY MEETINGS

Islam encourages us to consult with each other. Family meetings are useful strategy to maintain and enhance family relations, communication and co-operation. They show children how to discuss and resolve issues. It allows family members to compromise family members at times and prevents them from becoming stern and harsh with each other.

Allah reminds Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
“Had you been stern and harsh hearted, they would have dispersed from around you.” (Quran3:159)

Start meetings early enough and you will find they help minimize the challenges of raising teenagers.
