Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Child's Education in Islam Thirdly : Educating the Child On Obedince To the Parents The parents have a greater role to play in educating the children because the responsibility is on them before any other thing and they determine the future personality of the child while the school and surrounding society play the secondary role of the child education.

If the child is not habituated with the obedience to the parents he will not accept their advices, guidance, educational and reformatory orders. He will then create a lot of problems for himself, the parents and the society. As a result of that, he will be insubordinate to the laws, customs and stipulated traditions by the country and the society.

Imam Al-Hassan bn Ali Al-Askari (peace be upon him) said: "The child's boldness to the parents in the childhood result to his disobedient when he grows up"[^7]. Imam Mohammad bn Ali Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: "..... The worst child is he whose negligence has leads him to disobedience"[^8].

Educating the child for obeying the parent needs continuous struggle to habituate him for that, because the child of this stage desire to build his personality and personal independence, therefore there is need of additional struggles from the side of the parents and the best means to habituates him on obedience is to let him feel of love and sympathy. DR.

Satisfying the child's essential needs is among the means of making him obedient like (peace, love, appreciation, freedom and need for compressing power)[^10]. DR. Fakhir Aqil view this needs in the following form: (Need for self-assertion or stature, recognize him and his stature to be cautions of him .....

and the need for love peace and independence)[^11]. When the child feels love, sympathy and appreciation from the parents, he will try to satisfy the parents and obedience in substantial of satisfaction. The parents are the foundation in educating the child for obedience. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) said: "May Allah bless the parents that help their child for their obedience"[^12].
