Raising Non-violent Children |
 |
 |
 |
|
Having worked in schools and juvenile detention centers, I’ve seen an increase in the number of angry children. The violence in schools is increasing and there are no longer the minor physical altercations which may result in a black eye. Today children are bringing weapons to school such as knives, guns, and bombs to express their anger.
Anger as an emotion is a normal feeling. It exists in everyone. On occasion, anger can be a useful tool in protecting our rights or our feelings. Chronic anger however can have negative consequences on our mental and physical health as well as on our personal relationships. When anger goes untreated, and children do not learn to appropriately deal with their conflicts, anger becomes chronic.

PART 1 - Preventing the Girlfriend-Boyfriend Relationship
By Amatullah Islam
"In Islam, there is no such thing as a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship. You are either married or you are not."
Zina (fornication) has become a common place occurrence within the Muslim Youth community, and the Muslim girls and boys have sadly fallen prey to the snares of Western society. You may wonder how can such a situation occur when most Muslim parents virtually put their children under 'lock and key'. The answer is that although most parents are strict where their children are concerned, they do not take the time to talk and explain to them about the seriousness of Zina. Instead, they give a Fatwa of "no boyfriend" when their daughters reach puberty. Such an action is like ordering a two year old child not to touch the power point. What do you think the child will do?

Seven Principles of Communication in Conflict Resolution |
|
|
|
|
Effective conflict resolution invariably comes down to effective communication. In a therapeutic setting, this remains true even if a violent individual has had to be restrained. I have always held that it is possible (even essential) to be in a situation where it is necessary to restrain and still maintain a therapeutic relationship during, and after, the restraint.
While communication, and de-escalation, is a broad field, I have identified 7 key principles that I believe provide effective guidance in improving communication in conflict situations. These seven principles (including the exercise in number seven) are core to the principle of respecting the individual and communicating your genuine desire to seek a resolution.
