#Ramadan Daily: 5 bad habits your child took after you that make you angry every day
– Parents should serve as good examples to their children
– Some children do not just behave the way they do without a reason
– Bad habits in children stem from their parents most times
Poverty should not be used as an excuse for neglecting children by the parents. Parents should try to give their children the best in terms of sound and quality formal and informal education. Informal education here means proper home training.
A Muslim father with his children
Allah mentioned in chapter 17 verse 31 of the Glorious Qur’an that parents should not kill their children for fear of poverty. Allah says he provides for the children through the parents and the parents themselves. Allah said killing of children is the greatest injustice.

Prophet Muhammad also added his voice to caring for children. He said anyone who does not care for children is not part of the Muslim community
1. He disrespects you
A child could become disrespectful if his parents do not respect each other. For instance, if a man abuses his wife, and the wife does the same in return, their child is surely going to become a ward with bad character.In little or no time, he will show this bad behaviour towards both parents by frequently disobeying them when they ask him to do a chore or send him on errand.
2. Take things personal by over reacting
Parents are mirror to their children. A father who over-reacts at the slightest provocation either inside the house or outside, with his children seeing him is setting a bad precedence in this regard. He should not be surprised if his child reply him in harsh tone, especially when the child gets to adolescence.
Therefore, all fathers should ensure they serve as good role models in the month of Ramadan and beyond
3. Abusing other people bad mouthing
A few years ago on a TV interview programme for kids in Lagos, a child was ask to say what his father and mother’s are. The little boy said his father’s name was ‘the stupid man,’ while his mother’s name is ‘the foolish one.’ When he was asked why their names are stupid and foolish. He replied by saying this is what he always hear both parents call each other.
A good number of children learn the trade of abusing, bad mouthing and cursing people from their parents at home.
4. Taking your child’s side
Some parents will always support their children at any time, even if their children conspicuously does something wrong. They are ready to defend their children, against anybody the children wrong. This is a bad sign. It will in turn make the children do evil things which parents will not like, but will not be able to correct their children again.
5. Never notice any bad behaviour
Blaming a child for something he did wrong and telling him the right way of doing it is very good. It shows the parent cares for his child. However, if a parent overlooks all what his child does wrong, there will be a time the child will hurt the parent by doing something very bad and will never listen to correction from his parents.
