This week I’m taking the conversation somewhere the essay couldn’t go.
Read this week’s essay:
In this episode:
I share a story from a mother I worked with that I can’t forget, and what it actually cost her family in the moment right after.
I talk honestly about a belief a lot of us still have about what counts as strong parenting, and why it might be exactly backwards.
And I walk through something the Prophet, peace be upon him, said that reframes what strength in parenting really looks like.
This episode is for the Muslim parent who's been called too soft for refusing to hit their child, who's had to step between their spouse and their kid more than once, and who needs to hear that gentleness was never the weak choice.
You’re doing better than you think.
With du’a,
Gulnaz, Halal Parenting.
