Chosen Islamic Manners

*One should not ridicule his son or his ideas in front of others. One should encourage their children to participate.
*One should greet them with Salam. The Prophet () would pass by the young children and give them Salam.
*One should assign certain responsibilities to their children which suit their age.
*One should tell them a few secrets. The Prophet () sent Anas () on a mission, and he did not tell anyone about it.
*One should train their children to be bold in the right situations.
*One should teach his children to wear appropriate, decent clothing and should not allow them to cut their hair in inappropriate manner.

*One should make sure their children do not attend sinful sittings in which people talk about evil.

Proper Manners with Relatives
*Severing relations of the kith and kin is a major sin. Allah threatens those who do it with a grave punishment. He, the Exalted, says:

Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allah has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. (47:22-3)
