i also think that whatever we pass on to them as kids, being role model parents and verbally, that forms strong base in young/flexible age
therefore even if they r exposed to different right as well as wrong happenings around them, which can b so unavoidable sp. in todays fast track media age; around their teenage, insha'Allah they wud b able to differentiate right from wrong with the help of Allah and their parents' prayers for them as well as the hard work the parents did to convey the Truth to them, since even before they were borne

however as a senior friend of mine who is a teacher by profession said recently that children r like plants
its as important to look after the plant all the way through that its in right temperature, water conditions, plant food etc. all the way through untill it holds v. strongly to the ground with its strong roots
as it is to sow the seed in the right/favourable ground

i do agree with the fact re. encouragin' them for what ever little good they do or stand for with words like well done, masha'Allah, wait a go, u r a star, brilliant, subhan'Allah, fantastic, etc.

and also with such an important body language by huggin' and kissin' them, even if they r taller that us now and even if its a son or a daughter

for some reason we muslims have just made up these rituals of keepin' distance from our children of growin' age sp. if they r of opposite sex
this just expands gaps

we know our beloved Mohammad sws used to hug and kiss children bein' so gentle and kind to them
