I completely agree with this, as someone who regularly works with kids. Kids are willing to listen and learn from their elders when they are young. By the time they are in teens, they are essentially adults in Islam and thus are not as receptive to parents, causing them to fall off badly if you neglected them in their younger years. Nowadays I see parents in America scared of their own offspring, their older teens are unhinged and can be violent towards anyone.
Not to mention that this child grows up to becoming an adult. Who then may get married and trouble his spouse and poison his own children. The cycle repeats and ultimately the Ummah suffers. Men and Women need to start acting like the titles they’ve been given!
