Okay, but what do we do when our kids are just flat out quote unquote defiant?

And they're telling us blatantly no.

I mean, it happens at a very young age and you're like, what do I say to that?

I know what I want to say, but what is the appropriate way, uh,

Islamically and as a gentle, mindful parent, to respond when my toddler tells me no. And sometimes

they can have their little meltdown. So today, we're going to tackle that one together.

Hello, Osama al-a-a-a-com. Thank you for joining us here at Mindful Muslim Speaks, the place where we

are empowering women to grow and thrive. It's so good to be back

with you guys. How is your summer going? I'm always wondering when I ask that question how it's

really going for everyone because we are an international community. And subhannal, there's all

different types of weather going on all over the world. But-hambalah we're part of the days of

the hajja so just a reminder take advantage of these great days in the time of hajj and uh you know just

make a lot of doa a lot of sala fasting good deeds extra of everything just to take the full benefit

inshallah it's great time to connect with Allah

and to connect with each other, inshalt a al-a-l.

So today we are covering a topic again on parenting

because I get, like I said, a lot of requests

in certain topics.

And this one is actually funny because I was getting,

you know, certain comments and questions regarding it.

But then it's kind of funny because my daughter had a similar thing and the topic I'm covering today is how to handle the fact that your toddler

is starting to tell you no or saying no or asserting themselves and you know so Hanalah
