| 2 | A happy child feels secure, satisfied and focused, he does not have worries, and hence can focus on beneficial things better.
Happy children will have less tendency to be depressed, and a high tendency to be connected to the deen since they feel a reason to be thankful to Allah for the little they have, unlike unhappy children who are at war with themselves and are not satisfied with what they have or how things happen around them.
Happy children are easier to help when they have problems: It is easier to make them talk, foster a good relationship with them, and to detect when something is worrying them and needs to be addressed, before it gets out of hand.
Happy children are also often more confident, and are more likely to influence their peers than the other way round, they also tend to raise better families, have better relationships and tend to be more responsible and helpful in the society.
A recent study by the American Psychological Association found that people who have fond memories of childhood, specifically their relationships with their parents, tend to have better health, less depression and fewer chronic illnesses as older adults. Previous research found the same was true for young adults.
“The most surprising finding was that we thought the effects would fade over time because participants were trying to recall things that happened sometimes over 50 years ago,” said William J. Chopik, PhD, from Michigan State University and lead author of the study.
“One might expect childhood memories to matter less and less over time, but these memories still predicted better physical and mental health when people were in middle age and older adulthood.”
But in this world of full of struggles, work pressure, inflating prices of goods, insufficient salaries, how can you manage to be happy and joyous around family members?
We will not leave you to do this alone, insha Allah, stay connected to us, and help others benefit as we walk with you on this journey of raising a happier family.
……………………………………………..
1. Hadith 9, chapter 48 of Shamaail Muhammadiyyah of Tirmidhi.
©️Naas Educators | 452 |
| 3 | This Deadly Mistake Could Rip Joy From Your Family!
The boy looked at his 10 year-old sister and scolded her: “I do not know what’s making you happy; why are you jumping about and laughing around? It seems like you have got no work”.
Can you pick out what is wrong in his expression? pause and go over it again.
It’s normal if you can’t see anything wrong, because most of us were raised to find such statements normal, but here is the very dangerous idea his statement carried: his statement meant that displaying happiness and joy shouldn’t be an everyday thing; rather, it should have a special trigger, and be reserved for special days.
Do you also believe this? Here is why you should not.
1. Our Role Model Was Not That Way.
Alhasan, the grandson of the prophet asked his father, Aliyy, about the Prophet’s character and the first thing Aliyy mentioned was: “The Prophet was always happy; there was always a smile and sign of happiness on his face”1
Our Prophet , about whom Allah said: “there is certainly for you, in The Prophet, a good example” would always cut a happy, smiling and lively figure, even on normal days when there did not seem to be a special reason. Of course, there were certain days that he was sad or angry, but those were not the normal days.
Happiness is exhibiting positive emotions which come from a place of feeling satisfaction about how things are going around us. It should be normal in Muslim families to always feel satisfied about how things are going around us — whether we are rich or poor, whether the day ended up with much sales or not, whether we failed an exam or passed.
Muslims understand that everything is the decree of Allah, and as long as they stick to the commandments of Allah, He would never decree for them except what is good.
In Muslim families, we do not need special triggers to be happy, it should be written all over our faces, on our walls, in our kitchens — even if there are no foodstuffs.
2. Their Happiness Is Your Own Benefit
Having happy children will put your heart at rest — if, and only if you open your heart to their joy and happiness and do not feel irritated by them.
If you feel irritated by their joy and happiness, you would be denying yourself the joy you should reap for free.
Imagine you have had a tired and worrisome day at work, then you return and hear your kids’ ringing laughter from afar, even though they haven’t had anything to eat that night, you are more likely to feel more at rest and happy.
When you go in, they approach you with questions from the lively arguments they had been having, but you do not turn them away by asking ‘what is making them happy in this situation’, rather you share in the joy and encourage it even though you worry about the fact that they have not eaten, so you answer their question and the laugh and continue their arguments.
If your worry level was 7, by now it would have decreased to 5.
In this situation, it is easier to explain how things had been at work, they are going to be supportive and understanding, and when you see a mistake from them too on such a night, the aura of love and mutual understanding would push you to carefully address it and help them.
Even with all the problems your family might be going through, both kids and parents would feel easy and happy.
If, on the other hand, you go home to unhappy kids who are not lively, the moment you go in, everything is silent and you do not feel the eagerness to share your worries, there is no mutual understanding, and everyone goes to bed hungry and sad. If, in such a situation, you notice a mistake from one of them, your previous worries are likely to make you flare up and further strain the relationship with your kids; the whole family would remain unhappy, grow farther apart and depressed; this one mistake would rip joy from your family and even if wealth ends up coming, it might be too late to correct.
3. Happy Children Will Achieve Better
Happy childhood memories are essential to a child’s developing brain, enthusiasm and willingness to learn and explore: | 260 |

| 6 | *The Chain Of Bullying*
I visited my parents sometime last month and decided to pass the night.
At around 11pm at night, we started to hear voices from the next house. Their whisper turned into real noise and soon, it was clear what was happening.
A couple were having an argument, and the father was beating the hell out of the mother. They had chased each other out of the apartment and into the compound.
The wife was shouting, "You will kill me here tonight. You will kill me."
The next morning, I think the father had gone out, I heard the mother screaming at some of the kids; she sounded frustrated and verbally violent in almost a similar manner to how her husband had been to her.
Immediately I made a comment saying, "God help these kids. Only He knows how much of a violent kids they'd turn out to be", one of my brothers responded that, "if you see the older one dealing with the younger ones eh?"
I am sure you have seen the pattern.
The father beats the hell out of the mother.
The mother beats the hell out of the kids.
The elder one beats the hell out of the younger one.
The younger one goes to school, gets annoyed by a weaker kid, and he also takes him to one corner and beats the hell out of him.
Children do not often bring their bullying and tendencies towards violence from heaven; they learn it - usually from their parents.

| 8 | Still on the bullying video.
I have seen many people pointing accusing fingers at the parents of the girl involved in the bullying.
I saw someone write, "I do not blame the girl; I blame her parents who did not train her well".
I also saw many parents talking about how they would have stormed the school and torn everything apart if their child had been the victim.
Nobody, though, is asking the real question: how were the kids who are doing the bullying raised?
When we are ready for that conversation, we will ask those parents going crazy on the internet to beat their chests, look us in the eye, and say, "The way I am raising my child, he can never become a bully".
Let's face it: were the bullying students specifically raised to become bullies? Is it not children of parents like you and me that are turning into bullies?
My problem is not that the parents of the bullies are being blamed, my problem is that if we ask those blaming the parents what they mean by 'they did not train the girl well', you will hear the most horrific explanation.
Most of those saying her parents did not train her well simply mean the parents were not harsh enough with her and should have noticed early on that she had bullying tendencies and beat the living daylights out of her. That is their myopic solution.
The irony of it is that these parents advocating for tough disciplinary measures may inadvertently be contributing to the cycle of bullying.
When children are raised in environments devoid of empathy, where punishment reigns supreme and they are beaten for every mistake, accused unjustly, and not allowed to express themselves, they are likely to become one of two things:
1. Either they turn into bullies themselves because they too now have the opportunity to wield their power on someone weaker the way their parents used to wield it on them without empathy or control, or...
2. They become so meek, victimized, and scared that they become the bullying victims who can't stand up for themselves.
It is difficult to raise a child in an environment where you never show empathy and expect him to be balanced by being empathtic towards those weaker than him, and be able to stand up against those stronger than him.
This is not rocket science, go and look for videos of kids who are very empathetic and nice towards their younger siblings, you will see that most times, it is because that is how their parents are with them too.
So, if your solution to bullying is more bullying at home, just know that you will likely raise a more aggressive bully or a bullying victim.

| 11 | There is is a video circulating about two girls, both in SS2, at Leads British School, Abuja.
In the video, one of the girls was repeatedly assaulting and slapping the other girl - not a younger girl, but her classmate.
In a second video, the same girl was being assaulted by two different girls. They were taking turns to slap her while she put up no resistance at all. They continued to slap her on both cheeks in the presence of other students - boys and girls - who mocked her.
Now there is a worrisome thing about the video that parents need to be aware of.
I have seen many people talk about the incident while focusing on the school authorities and the bully, but no one has asked the question, "why was the bullied girl so calm, defenseless, and helpless?"
While it would be wrong to assume the exact circumstances surrounding her abuse, I have been involved in cases like this before and usually, there is just one cause: the bullied girl feels that she would lack support - from the authorities and from her parents.
Now, this is what parents need to learn:
If you are as close and connected to your daughter as you should be, it would be easy for her to approach you and talk to you about what is happening in school.
This closeness is not just about smiling and laughing together or sending your daughter money, it is about talking daily, gisting together, and being genuinely interested in her life.
Most parents have reduced the role of parenting to dumping their kids in school, shouting out orders, and paying their expenses. If you are like this, your child will either feel that talking to you about what she is going through in her life is a way of burdening you (if you are the nice type) or she would simply be too scared to approach you (if you are the harsh type).
If you want to avoid this, the solution is to develop keen interest in your child and form a very strong bond. A bond so strong that your child does not see talking to you as a way of burdening you because you are always eager to listen (and you listen the right way.)
Another problem is that even when the kids summon the courage to tell the parents they were bullied, many parents lazily belie the child or fail to take any action. When this happens, it breaks the child so much that they might never ever be able to relate such a thing to the parent again.
One girl that also attended the same school where the bullying happened wrote in a text that has now gone viral on Instagram that "When things like this happen and we tell our parents, our parents think we are being dramatic and stuff that's why we all need you to put back the post and bring awareness cuz it needs to stop.
"When I told my mom she said I was lying it was when I showed her the video that she believed me sef."
You see the problem? Many parents feel their children are seeking attention when they report these things. (I know a parent that dismissed rape issues as "seeking attention").
But let's face it, if you as a parent give your child attention, you talk every evening she returns from school, you discuss school and discuss life, why would she need to seek extra attention by being dramatic about things that did not happen?
So, even if the kid has to be dramatic to get your attention, it is most likely because there is a problem in your relationship already and you are all about giving money and no attention.
The solution to all this, is to ensure we parents create enough balance and give attention to spending quality time with our kids, even if it means we would slow down a bit in our career paths, and particularly, for the mothers to be very much available for the children.
Sending your child to a 400k per annum school and having time for them is better than working tirelessly day and night to afford a 3M per annum school only for your child to be bullied and raped and have no one to talk to.
But of course, this is not just about working-class parents, it is about parents being sensitive to the need to be very very close to their kids. | 253 |

| 15 | You gather all your children on the one that pees on herself to sing "pupu pupu for body, how are you? shame!"
Then when your children perfect the act of making jest of others and start to practice it on adults or other kids who are less priviledged, you want to start teaching them that Allah says, { يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٞ مِّن قَوۡمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُواْ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ}
"O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one’s brother after having Faith..."
[Surah Al-Ḥujurāt: 11]
Dear parent, It will not work.
A lot of times, we set up the foundation for many of the bad behaviours our children eventually pick up, but when the kids become experts at those things, we get sad.
If you really want your child to not mock others, then never tolerate the act and never be caught doing it yourself. If you tolerate and encourage it when they do it amongst each other, they will eventually do it to outsiders.
If you tolerate and encourage it when they do it to kids like them, they will eventually do it to adults.
If your child sings for another child that poops on himself, the right thing to do is to call him and explain the verse to him gently as well as reasons to not mock others.
If he does it again, you must be more harsh this time and could go, "Never ever in your life do that again. Do you not know that Allah could afflict you with the same? Are you not supposed to show gratitude to Allah that He has saved you from what He afflicted him with?"
If you do this, and your child sees how seriously you take it, this child will not grow up mocking people, with the help of Allah.

| 17 | What You Should Know About The System…
In the heart of every Muslim parent, there is the aspiration to raise children who excel in both worldly and spiritual knowledge.
But how do we navigate the school system while ensuring our children's Islamic values are nurtured and protected?
This is the first of a series of writing and, In shaa Allaah, we’re going to be exploring some of the key concerns associated with the conventional school system, especially as it concerns our young sprouts and how we can help them navigate the system if they have to be there.
1. Standardization over Individuality: The traditional school system often prioritizes standardized testing and curriculum over catering to individual learning styles and needs. This "one-size-fits-all" approach can stifle creativity, passion, and the unique potential within each child. Imagine, mama, your child thriving with hands-on learning, only to be confined to rote memorization. Homeschooling allows us to tailor education to each child's strengths and interests, nurturing their individuality and fostering a love for learning.
2. Limited Islamic Values Integration: While some schools offer Islamic studies, it's often compartmentalized, separate from mainstream subjects. This creates a disconnect, making it challenging for children to integrate their faith into all aspects of their lives. Another problem is usually with the educators in charge of the children. Even though schools advertise “Islamic Education” as part of their unique points, the educators might not be knowledgeable enough to live the required Islamic lives themselves not to talk of impacting the lives of your little sprouts.
3. Moral Concerns and Peer Pressure: The school environment can expose children to behaviours and influences that contradict our Islamic values. From inappropriate language and dress codes to social pressures that encourage unhealthy habits, navigating these influences can be overwhelming for young minds. Homeschooling allows us to control the environment, shielding our children from harmful influences while nurturing them within a values-based atmosphere.
4. Limited Focus on Character Development: While academics are important, the school system often prioritizes them over character development. Values like respect, compassion, and honesty might be mentioned but not actively woven into the learning experience. Homeschooling allows us to focus on nurturing these essential character traits alongside academics, shaping well-rounded individuals grounded in strong EU Islamic principles.
5. Lack of Flexibility and Personalization: The rigid schedules and structures of conventional schools can leave little room for personal growth and exploration. Also, imagine, mama, your child longing to pursue a specific interest but being confined to a fixed timetable. Homeschooling offers flexibility, allowing us to cater to your child's pace, interests, and learning styles, fostering a love for knowledge that extends beyond textbooks.
Remember, this is not about demonizing the conventional system. It's about understanding our options and making informed choices based on our values and priorities. Homeschooling, while presenting its own challenges, offers a unique opportunity to raise children who are deeply rooted in their faith, empowered to learn their way, and prepared to navigate the world with confidence and conviction.
This is not an exhaustive list, and the decision of whether or not to homeschool is deeply personal. In a future article, we will explore the benefits and challenges of homeschooling in more detail, offering support and guidance for those considering this path.
May Allah (SWT) guide us in making the best choices for our children and bless them with a love for learning and a strong foundation in their faith. Ameen.

| 19 | Your Children and the School: What Should You Know?
Since we began Naas Educators, we have received and responded to tens of questions from parents, teachers and people who want to do better at raising/mentoring young ones.
In recent times, some of the most common questions and requests we’ve attended to are related to young children and their exposure to explicit (and illicit) activities at school.
We’ve got cries from parents who were very scared about (adult-related) activities they discovered their young girls were doing…
Concerned parents have left us messages about how their innocent 5, 6, 7-year-old sons are acting in very strange ways, and they’re sure they picked these things from school.
As Muslims, we pour our hearts into nurturing our children, striving to cultivate strong Islamic values and prepare them for a fulfilling life based on the Qur’an and Sunnah.
This leads many of us to consider homeschooling as a way to ensure our children's upbringing aligns with our beliefs.
Yet, the question of formal education in schools often arises.
In shaa Allaah, in the coming days, we'll be sharing a series of writings on the school system and your roles as parents in helping and protecting the little ones you enrol in schools.
Stay tuned.
