A Guide to Modern Parenting

The new technological era of today has transformed modern society into something never witnessed in history. Where intellect and science soar, morals and character transform and change, not necessarily for the better. This is reflected in the fact that most parents seem to not be entirely happy with the way their children are growing up. Parents are wondering why their children want nothing to do with culture and religion and "old fashioned values". "Where did we go wrong?" ask many parents in astonishment. The truth is that while raising children has never been a walk in the park, many parents today have forgotten the timeless principles of parenting. The intrusion of technology into our lives, hyper connectivity, social media and slogans of personal freedom have further complicated the situation faced by parents elsewhere. It cannot be solved unless a holistic perspective is taken, keeping in mind the principles of Islam, of logic and common sense, and of modern psychology. This book has been written expressly for the purpose of bringing all these perspectives together to lay out the basic principles of successful childrearing and provides useful tips to apply them in modern day parenting.
