On the 16th of November, parents and teachers joined the parenting seminar at Musholla Al Madjid, Mutiara Harapan Islamic School with Ms. Rahmi Dahna as the main speaker. On that special day, she talked about how to be good parents. She said that don't ever try to get married if you are not ready to educate your children.
Every kid needs full attention from their parents. No matter how busy you are as a parent, you have to spend quality time with your children where you can ask their condition and feelings. Thus, you must have some "quality time" with you, so they will feel safe and secure.
Some parents asked about how to prevent their kids from gadget addiction? How to be a friend to them? She answered, stating as good parents, we have to encourage our kids to give time for other useful activities rather than playing their gadgets all day. These activities are as follows; reading Qur'an, joining organizations, going on recreation activities, traveling around the country, trying some new culinary disch, doing some outdoor activities and exploring new dance styles. Furthermore, those activities are beneficial to kids and also it will increase their physical abilities. The answer to the second question was, if your kid is a teenager, you need to treat them as a friend. Listen to them first before you speak. Then, schedule quality time once a week and enjoy your moment with them as their best friend.
As we know, teachers are considered second parents at the school. Thus, in our institution which has the islamic teachings, InshaAllah, teachers can be good role models for the students. Lastly, to all parents and teachers, let's strive to educate our children to be responsible citizens of our country.
-Experience is the best teacher, once you failed don't ever give up because you still have another chance-
