SERIES: Islamic Parenting Styles: Muslim Parenting Styles Part I

Noha Alshugairi, MS, LMFT and co-author of Positive Parenting in the Muslim Home, joins us today to be thanked for writing THE manual on Muslim American parenting we needed. Just kidding! Even she says that's not what it is, but it IS the text that gave us hope that there were other moms out there who knew our struggles and would help lighten them. On this episode, Khala Noha covers the role positive discipline plays in shaping emotionally resilient kids. What are the most common concerns that Muslim parents bring her, what cultural influences help or hinder Muslim families, and why must our kids fail? That last one really begs the question about why we parents are so afraid of failure. All this, and more, in store for our listeners.You might be surprised to learn what this therapist's beliefs and practices are about therapy and who should be doing it. What won't surprise you is her commitment to the spiritual development of Muslim parents and their kids. We didn't even release the episode and got eager listeners chomping at the bit to share how much they love Khala Noha, and everything they've learned from her.Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or head to our website to check out the latest.
