Some of you here are blessed with children and have shared some tales of how well behaved your kid is/ accepting of others/ and listens to ALL sorts of music,etc.
I want some tips how to raise children...I mean how do I make them get interested at some varying degree in what I think is fantastic to learn?
For ex...I want my children to learn a lot of science and contribute to it and also to architecture...

What do I do? Place in front of them blocks and hope they will like architecture?

enjoy kids while they are still kids...when they hit puberty u will feel like sending them off to a Mexican Convent School

make them smoke about 20 cigarettes in a row wyen they are about 3 and the chances are they will never smoke again.
U have to be cruel to be kind.

kids want something less gassy...try that Cobra beer

my theory

raising children is like teaching them how to be parents...



your kids will follow your interests if you are passionate about sharing everything that you value...

they will branch out and learn from your passion how to develope their own interests...

Yes, repetition adds to the learning experience

Frank Zappa said (I paraphrase) 'If you want your kid to grow up with good mental health on no account let them anywhere near a church.'

definetly not.
They will be heading to mosques...

I agree.

*sharing a rare org-Muslim moment*

Lol @Nep2nes.

This idea came to me after reading a bit on how Muslims influenced the scientific civilization and after reading/seeing pictures on Islamic architecture,calligraphy, Moorish palaces,etc.

After giving them knowledge on the basics of their religion, they will be exposed to learning about the Islamic culture in its' height. Either they can expand on what I can expose them to, become scholars and teach, or fight the invaders who have caused my Muslim brothers and sisters humiliation all over the world.

Such as this( this is from Indonesia)


AND...
