Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain The brain has a major revamp during the adolescent years. The adolescent experiences a greater sense of self as an individual along with a heightened emotional state. During the baby and toddler stage, parents teach through play; primary children learn and follow examples. But for the adolescent years, parents need use advice and reasoning. Allow them a safe environment to practice their newly found independence. Have open discussions about “awkward topics”Remember, while you can’t always “protect them from making bad decisions”, the Prophet (S) put a lot of trust in young talent.

Raising A Special Needs Child To be tested in ones children is of the hardest tests: Adam AS, Nuh AS, Ebrahim AS, Yacoub AS, Ayub AS, Muhammad (S). It comes with constant need for support and care. Your child may never be fully independent of you. You have much fear, anxiety and frustration, even feeling of hurt at their struggles. A disability is only one characteristic of a person. People have many facets: likes and dislikes, strengths and challenges. Children with disabilities are like all children in that they want friends, respect and to be included.
