The first thing we are going to do is to make a purposeful intention to parent our children in a manner that is pleasing to Allah.

Next, we need to set goals.

### What do you want to accomplish with your kids over the summer?

In order to answer this question, you have to break it down into 4 areas:

 1️⃣ heart  
2️⃣ mind  
3️⃣ body  
4️⃣ soul

So, on a blank piece of paper or document, write your answers.

Let's start with the heart. What do you want your child's heart to be like?

Here are some suggestions.

###### 1️⃣ Heart💓

- It has pure intentions for Allah
- he/she is soft-hearted
- courageous
- sympathetic
- caring for self, parents, sisters, grandparents, family
- caring towards animals
- caring about the poor & oppressed
- not selfish

Everyone is welcome to share their ideas. Post a comment to share what you have written.

2️⃣ Mind 🧠

You want your child to be: 

- smart
- a critical thinker
- have an open mind
- know times tables
- know how to use computer
- knows mental math
- knows how to carry conversation
- has high test scores

3️⃣ Body 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽

I want my child to:

- make healthy food choice
- be knowledgeable about nutrition & junk food & their effects on the body
- have a good body image
- have an exercise/outdoor play routine
- know how to cook (jello, sandwich)
- know about gardening
- knows how to swim
- knows how to keep house tidy (vacuum, laundry, dishes etc)

Now, the most important aspect of your child's development, the soul!

4️⃣ The Soul

Does my child know:

- he/she has a Lord they can rely on?
- they need to build a relationship with Allah?
- they can see signs of Allah existence, power, love, mercy, & care in nature?
- they need to recognize Allah's favors on us?
- they need to be grateful and thankful to Allah for everything?
- they can turn to Allah when they are sad and lonely?  
  Does my child know & understand:
- the message of the short surahs in juz' Amma/last Para?   
  Does my child:
- really loves Allah?
- really loves RasoolAllah (saw)?
- really loves Sahabah?
- has taqwa & integrity?

These are just brainstorming ideas. You have to decide what you want to instill in your child.
