religious edu for children

salam

just now, while watching a tv program, my mother said smtg or kind of a question. 'why children these days hardly 'khatam Quran'?

hurmmm.. most of my siblings started to learn reciting Holy Quran since we're as young as 4 year old. the latest we finished was when we were in year 4. my older sister khatam Quran when she was in year one. by the time we stepped into primary school, we were already mastered reciting Holy Quran though there would still a few errors here and there.

 its a shock when you see most of the children these days are still mumbling hijaiyyah when their age have nearly reached puberty or just start with Holy Quran. sad to say but that's the reality especially in the big big cities where worldly education matters most than religious education.

we've one here. my mother voluntarily teach my neighbours' children and sadly there's a few of them decide to quit half journey just because they're ashamed of other friends. man who has reached puberty will experienced some changes be it physically and physiologically right. just imagine, you're reciting with your rough voice and the other children are smiling and giggling at you. walk in their shoes. if it is me,  i might do the same thing too. who's fault is that?parents or children. if you ask me, i would say parents.

why? i can't give the answers cz i'm not yet a mother and does not know how it feels to have such responsibilities.

but, its parents responsibilities to colour their children's life.

read DarwishnDarwisya. their parents are amazingand the children are superb.

not all can we follow cz everyone has their own way of parenting but take it as example, challenge and goals,perhaps. if they are able to do such, why don't us.

children need role models, so, if you want your children to love Holy Quran and to enjoy reciting everyday,  you have to start and show your passion and love towards it. show how religious education important in our daily life.

forcing. some says autocratic parenting may lead to rebellious but sometimes, parents need to have such power and their own principles and goals to follow. don't leave your responsibilities to your children.

parenting courses. i never heard about such courses those days when i was still in primary or exactly 10 years past. but these days, it has became a need for every parents in parallel to the technology emerging and to fulfill and understand the needs of millennial generations.

nak jadi parents pun kena study sekarang ni. orang dulu-dulu follow by the flow ja. =P
