2. Always distance children from your issues I have seen parents who have always used their children as shields in matters beyond their mental ability to handle hence causing psychological torture to them and consequently mental health issues. Just like this hen which extended its chicks in a friendly manner towards it yet aware that it was affected by disease and as well knowing that these chicks would be prone to the same, so do many parents and guardians do to their children; encouraging them to follow the wrong path of life rather than standing up to correct them whenever they go wrong. It is divine wisdom to keep children neutral to whatever the parents are going through, and most importantly keeping them in a safe environment for their growth. For instance, no matter what a spouse has done, it is a wise thing to handle such issues outside the reach or hearing of the children. This is important because children are led by emotions and never about reason, so they can easily side with any parent or guardian, and for some end up carrying hatred and burdens in their hearts at a young age. 3. Teach your children to both know and love their relatives In this world, many families live in isolation from the people who really matter in life, and these are relatives. 8 | P a g e
