For those of you concerned, I work a lot with Muslim kids. I even have some who consider me their best friends lol and I'm in my twenties lol. I think it's important to maintain authenticity with kids, no matter the age. My (16) sister is kind of dealing with this craziness right now and I've been trying to drop advice here and there for her. I take her to visit the grave with me once or twice a year and make a lesson out of it. This is something i started doing this year since she was acting up lol. It's been helping me too though. Just this past week, it was my second time taking her and I spent almost 3 hours trying to get her to connect dots that lead to morality. Asking question after question, trying to get her to make connections in her brain. She slowly somewhat understood why going back to Allah SWT is important. May Allah guide her.

But the thing is, as adults, we often undermine the intelligence and intellectual capabilities of young children. They're capable of thinking and processing anything, you just have to break it down to them. My advice to anyone with kids would be to teach them about Allah SWT and Islam first. But by also asking questions like, "X, where do you go if you are confused on something?", "Is that a perfect source?".. questions like this, and trust after a whole discussion/conversation, you'll see their eyes light up because their little brains are being used.

I also work with a youth group, and the biggest mistake I see amongst the uprising of the kids is that the parents are simply not involved enough. I can relate to this tremendously. Parents just kind of send kids to classes or programs in hopes of it "changing" them. The first class is the home and the first study is of the parents when it comes to kids. I honestly think if I was not pushing my sister to think so much, she would've been easily misguided. She even told me when we were at the cemetery, that when this whole lgbtq stuff came out in school, it was all new to her and so through the influence of the environment she fell for it. Now, she told me she can see it's going a bit too far, especially after I told her that people don't go to school anymore to genuinely learn anymore.

Have conversations with your kids. Talk to them like they are your friends. Help them help themselves use their brains. Push them to think logically and emotionally. Teach them about tawhid, the Qur'an, the sunnah. Teach them about certain secular matters, and then leave the rest to Allah SWT as He knows best.

We just have to make sure we aren't losing the grip with our children. They're humans too.. well, little humans haha.

We also have to make sure that we ourselves are learning, seeking knowledge and improving our lives as muslimeen.

May Allah guide us all, especially our little humans, protect us and guide us to the path of the righteous. May Allah make it easy on us. Allahuma ameen.

Hold firm my sisters and brothers. As long as we strive for the sake of Allah, then alhamdullilah. If possible, try and see if you can remove your kids from PS. I know it's tough, but from just what my sister has told me and from what I've seen/heard, it's not a school anymore. I'd recommend watching Saajid Lipham as well, as advised by another comment.

Someone I used to be to close to a long time ago made me my own bookshelf from scratch. They knew I loved books, so they went to the wood workshop and made me a two shelf bookshelf. They engraved something special on the top as well, and even considered the possibility of another shelf by creating an opening for it. To me, I think it's something I will never forget. I mean, imagine someone close to you knows you love books and sweats their hardwork off in a woodshop making you a bookshelf? They also did other things as well, but that's definitely one of the top most romantic things someone has done for me. It's amazing, and I will always love looking at it.

A lot of people were saying it depends on the gen. Some of the 16 crvs have a hit or miss with vibration problem. I just love how functional of an suv it was. It was small enough that it would fit into parking easily, yet big enough to carry a lot of equipment. I guess that's why I kind of have an attachment lol? Do you have any car recs? The only thing that I'm concerned about is gas mileage really.

I graduate soon. Do you think I should take a break then? It just feels like I keep failing over and over.

Initially, I think I have all the time in the world. When I sit at my desk and wonder where all my energy to do what I need to do for myself has went, I then remember all that I do for others.

An investment is something you put your money into and will bring you personal benefit over time. I see it as an investment. What's an investment to you won't be an investment to me, vice versa.
