Raising and raising a child can make him a successful and responsible person, or vice versa. In our Arab society today, every mother strives to instill a sense of responsibility in her child. All good values originate from the home and the customs that the child was raised on and lived at home. Your child watches you in all your behaviors and imitates them. In appreciation of the mother's great role in raising children, there are a number of things that you should be sure to instill in your child so that he becomes a responsible man:
1 - Involving all family members in household chores : Children usually get used to not participating in household chores, considering them to be women’s only duties. However, be assured that their contribution and eagerness to participate will create a person capable of fully and independently bearing responsibility for their own responsibilities.
2- Organizing his time and being disciplined : This is done by setting rules and allocating time for playing, time for watching TV and time for studying lessons. With time, he will learn to organize his time and be disciplined in all aspects of his life without excess or neglect.
3- Expressing his feelings freely : “Don’t cry, you’re a man” is one of the most common misconceptions when raising children. This is because children tend to suppress their feelings, such as fear or anger, and these negative feelings manifest as uncontrollable tantrums. Ask him to talk to you about what scares or angers him when he’s ready, and discuss with him ways to overcome and solve these problems in a positive way.
4- Admitting mistakes and apologizing : Excessive fear of punishment may be the reason why a child does not admit or disclose a mistake. Therefore, talk to your child often, and if you make a mistake in something, apologize to him and teach him that apologizing is not considered weakness, but rather requires a lot of strength and courage.
5- Taking care of his appearance and personal hygiene : This starts from a young age and constantly emphasizing the importance of taking care of his appearance and personal hygiene. There is no harm in giving him the freedom to choose his clothes, and to make things easier, make the choice between two outfits, no more, so that he does not get distracted. There is no harm in putting on a perfume he likes before leaving the house and taking care of personal hygiene, such as showering daily and changing his clothes immediately if they get dirty.
