    No one is born knowing how to be a parent. It is appreciated to have individuals like dr Amen dedicated to work, research and share his findings. I am not the perfect mom, but definitely his work is helping me to get better as a mother.

    Enjoy our kids.
    Some of my best memories are playing Barbie and Construction Zone Trucks with my kids in the yard. Or setting up the sprinklers to spin around for running through in the summertime or slip & slides or crafting and coloring with them and just reaponding to whatever comes up.
    Love the point here about these days everybody is talking at each other rather than with one another. It makes the world feel so cold and hard.
    So those moments of Barbie or Excavation time to build the racetrack for the hot wheels is amazing.

    When Fadime, the daughter of Muhammad (peace be upon him) came home, our Prophet showed her his seat , let her seat tjere ,kissed her by the hand, and valued her. He Did this 1400 years ago, he would visit the child whose pet bird died and sit there and chat with him.

So I try to emphasize *balance* without them feeling deprived bc then they get obsessed. And they have to do their other stuff chores, outside time, learning time etc before screen time. But they are obsessed & addicted despite all these efforts so idk anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s so frustrating

      Respond not React- Tell your child calmly that you understand why they want it that way , however you have these boundaries for a good reason and explain the reasons and the consequences of not having it with examples if possible.
      When the child is treated with love and empathy with respect for their choices without judging, it will have a positive effect on the child and the child will surely be bound to think about your decision trying to understand it, even if they disagree.
      When this approach is followed over a period of time, the child will start to respect and thereby trust the parent more , leading to.a more healthy positive relationship with less conflicts and more acceptance.

    How about if you have multiple kids - can you a play a (card) game with all of them together for 20/30 minutes - is that enough ‘special’ time?
    With multiple kids, work, school - 20 mins per day for each becomes difficult. But if it’s not the same as individual - I’ll have to work much harder than I guess.

      I allocate 20 minutes for each (3), sometimes I ask them what they want to do, and then write it down and work in a time, other times it is spontaneous, during the weekdays it is hard to get the time, but they have learned to respect each others time. Definitely worth the effort though.
