“As well, we find that many of us run into problems with trying to push our goals and aspirations off on our children. Think about it for a minute. Many of us have already decided what we wanted our children to be when they get older. Some of us have even given them many gentle nudges in the direction that WE have chosen to be the best for them. Believe me when I tell you, that as cute as it may seem, it can cause many many many rifts in that parent/child relationship as they grow up and begin to develop their own personalities and desires. I have seen it happen time and time again. And if we are honest with ourselves, many of us have experienced it at some level in our own lives.”
-Abu Abdillah Abdul Lateef
