This afternoon while picking Hilmi up form school, Miss Ida, his English teacher, said to me.
"Hilmi went into a quarrel with Faiz."
"What? How could it be?" I asked. For I know, Faiz was his best friend at kindergarten. Before they join the kindergarten, the two kids often spent time playing together because Faiz's mother is my wife's best friend.
"Ah, it's okay. you know, kids stuff," Miss Ida said.
"They're alright now, already friends again. Right, Faiz?" she asked Faiz who then joined Hilmi. Her mother was next to him prepared to bring him home also.
"Hm," Faiz nodded.
I haven't got the details yet about the fight, but in my opinion, quarrels are not intended to be left alone. They need to be solved. Parents can also have the opportunity to explain Islamic wisdom through this. As a matter of fact, all events circling our children's daily life should be taken to introduce them Islamic teachings.
For example, our prophet said, "Laa taghdhob, wa lakal jannah." You must not be angry, then the paradise will be rewarded to you. This simple hadeets can be taught to our children at early age. Eventually, they will have the ability to communicate their disagreeness or dissapointment without getting angry. Simple, but may be hard for a young child.
