Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.
First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.
If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.
Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.
A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.
He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.
Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.
Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.
Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.
Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.
Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.
Allah knows best.

How do I stop a child from stealing? She’s just 6 years old, but she steals like an expert, covers her tracks perfectly, and denies it with teary eyes so much that you start to feel bad for her and even second-guess yourself as an adult.

@AmberRayz It's clear as day, sir. Your eyes are just untrained 😅

@Rxmaama InaliLlahi wa ina ilayhi rajiun! Ya Salam! May Allah comfort his parents and the rest of the family. A truly bitter pill to swallow. 😔

@BaaleOfMilan At least you made it clear that she's not a male sister... phew!
English

I have a female sister in need of a serious relationship that will lead to marriage soon.
But the man must meet the below requirements
1) Must have been to Hajj
2) must have a house
3) A very spacious kitchen because she is a chef
4) Buy her minimum of 10 abaya
5) Must have at least 2 good vehicles
6) Her Dowry is Hajj and a month trip to Dubai.
7) More importantly, he must be AA
My DM is open if you meet the requirements.

@marianoreeledit Always lost its glory a long time ago. The quality got really bad, and people were suffering reactions to it. Foreign always is still great, though. Especially the no irritation aloe Vera variant.

Using same spoon to serve both rice and stew.
Brushing your teeth In the kitchen sink.
Mixing that iron sponge with the normal one while washing.
Not washing your plate after eating.
Not soaking the pot after the food is finished, and then it becomes difficult to wash.
Not drying the sink after whatever you're doing there.
Using one sponge to wash both plate and glasses.

@BlehisBack As the spirit leads, man. I tried the "prepare for the week" thing and couldn't commit.
Pick this top, skirt or pants and combine with guidance from my ancestors 😪
English

9-5ers, I’m here again.
How do you plan your fits for the week, especially those who work fully on-site
- Do you plan and iron everything for the week during the weekend?
- Do you do it each night before? i.e in the evening when you get home, you plan for the next day
- Or do you do just bring out something and press it that morning?

@BalogunAbass12 I was on the bridal train, right in front of the couple and the groom kept scolding the very meek bride. "You're not walking smartly", "You're not smiling", "pick up the pace"... ladies and gentlemen, that marriage has been over for a while.

@subpharmacist @arojinle1 I don't know which school of pharmacy you graduated from (so the codes may differ), but this was one of the first things we learnt in PHCT 101 in ABU. Proudly taught to us by Prof. Olurionola 😊
English

@arojinle1 According to Paracelsus, all things are poison, what makes the difference is the dose. Crazy stuff.
English

Most times, the men that were poisoned have hurt their wives in the past. But sometimes, the men did nothing. It's just a case of the women trying to prevent the husband from finding out their secrets.
Take the case of Natalie Cochran for example, she was a pharmacist who was convicted in 2025 of poisoning her husband with insulin to prevent him from discovering her involvement in a $2 million Ponzi scheme. She was found guilty of his murder. This is Natalie and her husband, Michael Cochran, in the picture below.
Just Google Natalie Cochran and you'll see enough headlines about her story.
Also, I'll like to point out that when we talk about poison, some people think it has to be one big out of reach chemical. No! Who would have thought of insulin being used as a poison? She knew what she was doing as a pharmacist. The man's blood glucose level dropped to 21 and he developed cerebral edema. Brilliant way to murder someone, if you ask me. It took a judge granting an order to exhume Michael's remains for examination and testing in 2021 before the truth was found.

@_DebbieOA @a__vanita This was done to me 4 times. That stitch up is definitely the worst part of labour for me. Followed closely by those nasty vaginal examinations.
English

@a__vanita When I had my first child, those wicked nurses stitched me up without giving me an injection to numb the pain. The pain was crazy.
