“Do we not see the dangers of this whole idea of pushing what we want our children’s futures to contain, upon them? Either way, the situation many times turns out negatively. Most times, this comes about because people lose track of the real purpose of being a parent. Parents are supposed to be the guide that leads them through the darkness, as they are figuring things out. They let their children make some mistakes, and show them how to correct them and still come out on top. Parents prepare their children to be able to make decisions on their own by putting them in situations where they have to make decisions and work through the decision making process with them when necessary. Parents do not choose their paths and dictate their futures. Rather are the ones that prepare them to go out in the world and survive on their own when they are ready.”
-Abu Abdillah Abdul Lateef
