Educating Children - ” Wonderful Sayings of Imam Ali” (p.b.u.h)

November 14, 2006 — moralsandethics

 

Do not force your children to behave like you, for surely they have been created for a time which is different to your time.

* * * * * * * * *

Mould clay as long as it is pliable and plant seedlings while they are still supple.

* * * * * * * * *

A child that has to be restrained is like an extra finger: if you let it be, then you dislike it, and if you cut it off, then it is painful.

* * * * * * * * *

It should be your aim to display more kindness towards your child than the kindness that he displays towards you.

* * * * * * * * *

If you scold a child, then leave him room to turn away from his wrong action, so that you do not leave him with obstinacy as his only way out.

* * * * * * * * *

Since you sat down wherever you wished when you were small, sit down where you do not want to now that you are grown up.

* * * * * * * * *

The first things that children should learn about are the things that they will need to know when they become men.

* * * * * * * * *

The more forceful the pretence is in the beginning, the harder it will be to keep up the pretence in the end.

* * * * * * * * *

Surely the heart of a child is like fallow ground: whatever is planted in it is accepted by it.

* * * * * * * * *

When a father beats his child it is like putting manure on a young crop
