They must take the time to listen to
what children have to say and ask
their opinions about matters.
They must play with their children
too.
A parent must make arrangements
for the childs recreation and enter-
tainment. However the recreation
and entertainment must be benefi-
cial and stimulating.
It is also a parents duty to develop
the physical fitness and skills of
children, that they may be strong
and courageous.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [s]
recommended that children be
taught wrestling, horse-riding,
swimming and archery.
Children should not be made to do
overly burdensome work.
They should be taught discipline
and be hardworking but not be
treated like slaves or labourers.
