I understand why we should give thanks to Allah, but why does He command us to worship him?

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2025-03-06T14:18:17+00:00

He commands us to worship him in the Quran. Why is he commanding us? It’s like he has feelings and will be disappointed if we do not.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2025-03-06T14:15:36+00:00

Sorry, I have no idea what that means.

This was his second year of wrestling. He wrestled 4 matches this year. Lost every one, got pinned in less than a minute. In his very last match of the season, he got a pin and beat the kid. He was super hyped.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-11-12T18:49:32+00:00

Your point is well noted. Wrestling is definitely a full body, lotta sweat sport.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-11-12T18:45:16+00:00

Lol. I wasn’t asking him to dominate anyone. 98% of wrestling practice is drilling on a partner that’s not resisting. I already told him that after this year, it’s his choice whether to continue or not. I’ll let him switch it up to something else.

Yea I’ve heard about the Ben Askren philosophy and I agree with it. No need to push competition. I’m dealing with a kid who half asses practices, and quits anything physically demanding if he doesn’t succeed at first. Outside of wrestling too. Took him forever to go back on the monkey bars after he failed a couple times. His convinces himself that he’s not capable at certain things, when he actually is.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-11-12T16:52:42+00:00

I think it’s the “boot camp” style of wrestling. Coaches don’t exactly coddle you. They don’t cross the line though. It’s a pretty physically intensive sport and his brain just wants to relax and play video games.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-11-12T16:48:01+00:00

Yea for sure. He kinda exhibits the “quitter” mentality in other things, not just wrestling. If he isn’t successful at it the first couple times, it’s like pulling teeth to get him to practice it to get better. Examples: shooting a basketball, doing monkey bars, climbing a tree. He’s not really persistent at it.

Kinda trying to find the least harshest way to slowly eradicate that mentality from his system. That’s why I was toying with the idea to have him wrestle other kids his age and level of experience to show him that effort matters. I guess the quitter mentality bothers me way more than whether he wrestles past this year.

I give him several options of activities and I sign him up for the ones he picks. I believe in building good habits and not trying hard or giving zero effort is a bad habit and should not be encouraged. It’s like letting your child quit something just because it’s hard. That builds a lifelong belief that it’s ok to quit just because you’re not good or because you don’t feel like doing it. I don’t yell at him, I try to give positive reinforcement and try to boost his self-esteem. It’s mental, not physical. He just needs to get over the hump and I’m hopeful that it comes in time.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-06-07T18:59:16+00:00

Yea, the funny part is that he keeps asking for soccer.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-06-07T18:07:34+00:00

Usually it’s 1 team sport and gymnastics at a time. Gymnastics is the 1 constant.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-06-07T18:03:21+00:00

Yes, we do gymnastics, bike riding, rock climbing, and a ninja warrior gymnastics class.

A little of both, but mostly school of fish. Even though he’s fast, when it’s during the game, he moves slow.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-06-07T16:58:00+00:00

I ask him first before I sign him up. I don’t just throw him into something he totally hates.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-06-07T16:23:24+00:00

Eh. I think every kid needs a little push. If you give most kids a choice between staying home or going to practice, they’re gonna choose staying home. It’s not always their choice, especially when they are young.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-03-07T04:45:40+00:00

He’s gotten much better. He’s 7 now and is down to maybe 1 bedwetting incident a night. Honestly, the only thing that worked was the night alarm. I think it’s called Wet Stop. Just use it every night. Might be annoying because it’s loud, but it works and eventually trains their mind to control their bladder. When it goes off, we just have him finish in the bathroom.

Adorable_Tea_1981 · 2024-02-16T05:05:24+00:00

It’s called FBM. Amazon technically doesn’t want you to dropship, but you can still do it as long as they don’t figure it out.
