- After a big fight, we both stayed in separate rooms the rest of the evening. Our child kept checking on each of us. Is this a sign they feel emotionally responsible for our moods?
- After a conflict, I go cold and quiet. Is this silence considered sabr or is it closer to emotional withdrawal, which our Deen discourages?
- After a disagreement about parenting, our child tends to side with the ‘softer’ parent. Is that natural, or a warning sign?
- After a fight, should we show our child that we have made up, or is it better to keep emotional matters private?
- After a tense evening, I woke my child up with extra sweetness. Could sudden kindness feel untrustworthy to them?
- After an argument, I sometimes over-apologise to my child. Could that shift the emotional burden onto them?
- After an argument, I sometimes talk to my child about how I felt. Could that be bordering on emotional burden or even inappropriate venting?
- After I disciplined our child, my spouse later undid it without telling me. Is it wrong that this felt like betrayal in front of our child?
- After our fight, I hugged my child but they pulled away. Could they be feeling angry or confused about their emotional loyalty?
- After tension, I sometimes overdo affection with my child out of guilt. Is that healthy repair, or emotional compensation?
- After we fight, my child starts acting out in school or daycare. Could this be delayed emotional insecurity?
- During arguments, we sometimes say things like ‘You always do this’ or ‘You never care’. Could this be considered unfair speech (zulm) in Islam?

- How do we explain small tensions to our child without over-explaining or making them feel responsible?
- How do we maintain respect in disagreement without falling into pretence or suppressing real concerns?
- I am often short or dismissive with my spouse during stressful moments. Could our child absorb this as a model for communication?
- I broke down crying after an argument and my child brought me a tissue silently. I am scared they are becoming emotionally parentified. What do I do?
- I often make jokes at my spouse’s expense. Could our child be absorbing mockery as a form of affection?
- I once heard my child using a controlling tone with a younger sibling, the same tone I use when trying to ‘keep peace’. What do I do?
- I once left the house after a fight and my child begged me not to go. How do I repair the fear that created?
- I once scolded our child and my spouse immediately hugged them in front of me. Did that silently teach our child to avoid accountability?
- I realised we often use phrases like ‘You always do this’ or ‘Why are you like this?’ in front of our child. Could these shape their internal dialogue?
- I sometimes correct my spouse’s tone or reaction in front of the children. Could I be unconsciously damaging their respect for the other parent?
- I sometimes defend my parenting choices too strongly in front of the kids because I feel judged. Could they be picking up on my defensiveness?
- I worry that our child never sees us reconnect. Can that leave them emotionally stuck in the middle of our conflict?
- I worry that our child sees parenting as a performance, two people debating how to handle them. How do we restore healthy authority?
- I worry that seeing us shout and then cuddle later is giving our child a warped message about relationships. Is that true?
- If one parent keeps overriding the other, could the child start seeing parenting as a power game?
- If our child imitates our sarcastic tone or mimicry, how do we gently undo that pattern?

- Is sighing, eye-rolling, or showing contempt towards one’s spouse in front of the children considered a violation of Islamic etiquette?
- Is there a way to disagree daily as a couple without giving our child emotional instability?
- My child cried the next morning after a late-night argument. We never even mentioned it to them. Should we have?
- My child draws pictures where the parents are far apart. Could their play be showing us what they cannot say?
- My child keeps asking, ‘Are you and Baba okay?’ days after a loud fight. How do we give honest reassurance without faking harmony?
- My child now uses adult phrases like ‘You are not listening to me’ or ‘Why are you being dramatic?’ Could they be absorbing our unfiltered language?

- My child saw us argue, and the next day started being extra helpful and ‘good’. Could they be trying to prevent another fight?
- My spouse and I act normal the next day, but our child watches us cautiously. Is ‘pretending it did not happen’ creating emotional confusion?
- My spouse and I often use sarcasm with each other. Could that teach our child to disguise hurt with humour?
- My spouse and I were raised differently, I am more firm, they are more lenient. When we disagree on parenting in front of our child, who does the child learn to trust?
- My spouse often corrects me harshly in front of the children. How do we uphold the Islamic ideal of covering each other’s faults in this context?

- My spouse tends to interrupt me when I am correcting the kids, offering a ‘better’ way. Could this be creating emotional instability?
- Our child becomes quiet when we bicker casually. Could they be internalising stress even if we think it is nothing major?
- Our child has picked up on my habit of shutting down conversations by saying ‘forget it’. Is that a learned exit strategy?
- Our child now asks, ‘Why is Baba stricter than you?’ How do we answer without throwing each other under the bus?
- Our child now gets extremely upset if either parent raises their voice for any reason. Is this a trauma response?
- Our child now waits to see who they can ask for permission. Could that be a result of seeing us contradict each other?
- Our child once froze and said, ‘Please do not be mad again.’ It was days after an argument. How can we rebuild their emotional safety after delayed fear?
- Our child recently started using phrases like, ‘Oh, here we go again’. Could they be mimicking our patterns of irritation?

- Our child sometimes tries to intervene when we argue lightly. Is that a sign we are making them feel emotionally responsible?
- Our child was sitting at the dining table while we argued in the kitchen. They stopped eating and went quiet. How do we undo the emotional impact of that scene?
- Our disagreements are mostly subtle, like eye-rolls, sighs, or silence. Do children pick up on this emotional climate?
- Should both parents check in with the child after a fight, or is it better for just one to do it?
- Should we ever explain what we fought about to a child, or is emotional safety enough without details?
- Sometimes we fight in the car with our child quietly looking out the window. Could this be building quiet emotional trauma even if they say nothing?
- We apologised to our child, but they still bring up the fight weeks later. How long can emotional effects linger?
- We argue less with words and more with blameful glances or disapproval. Does Islamic adab cover non-verbal cues too?
- We argued so loudly once that our child covered their ears and cried. That memory haunts me. How do I heal that damage?
- We disagree on discipline in the moment, one says no, the other softens. Could this inconsistency create confusion or manipulation?
- We do not insult each other, but we use dismissive language like, ‘Whatever’ or ‘Leave it’. Can this become a model of emotional shutdown?
- We do not shout, but we do talk through gritted teeth or passive-aggressively. Is that still damaging for a child to witness?
- We do not want to involve our child in adult matters, but they clearly notice. How do we validate their feelings without dragging them into it?
- We fight most when our child is asleep, but lately they have been waking up anxious. Could they still be absorbing the tension subconsciously?
- We have different views on screen time or Islamic routines, and sometimes we debate them in front of the child. How harmful is this?
- We often have small disagreements over chores or money in front of the kids. Are these really harmful, or can they be healthy?
- We often resolve things silently and quickly. Should our child witness resolution too, or is silence enough?
- We once argued about bedtime routines while the kids were right there. Now they try to negotiate rules. Did we invite that?

- I do not feel anything for my spouse anymore, and it shows in how we move around each other. How can I protect my child from emotional coldness without pretending?
- I feel constantly overwhelmed, but my child only hears my spouse being thanked. How do I address this without making it about ego, but about visibility?
- I find myself rolling my eyes or sighing when my spouse does things ‘wrong’. Our child watches this silently. What is that teaching them about respect?
- I grew up in a house with no screaming, but also no love. I promised myself I would not repeat it. Yet here I am, and my child is now inside that same silence. How do I break the cycle?
- I lost my job, and now our child hears tension in every conversation. How do we maintain calm and reassurance without hiding the truth?
- I noticed our child clings more when we are under financial or emotional stress. Could they be absorbing our unspoken fear, and how can we soften that?
- I often correct or override my spouse’s way of doing things in front of our child. How can I change this without compromising my standards or our unity?
- I often find myself being kinder to our guests than I am to my spouse in front of our child. Is this hypocrisy shaping the wrong values?
- I often find myself envying other couples and hiding that ache from my child. Is it wrong to want my child to see love when I do not feel it anymore?
- I often joke about being the ‘default parent’ in front of our child, but deep down I feel bitter. Could that emotional leak affect them?
- I often talk over my spouse or finish their sentences. I just want to move things along, but could this be teaching our child impatience or disrespect?
- I tend to raise my voice when I am not being heard, and now our child is doing the same. How do I change the pattern without feeling silenced?
- In a recent emergency, we turned on each other instead of pulling together. How do we repair what our child saw?
- My child asked me why I never say 'I love you' to their father. I froze. How do I respond without making it awkward or emotional for them?
- My child asked why we never go out together or laugh like other parents. How do I respond without lying or breaking their trust in us?
- My child is starting to copy the way their grandparents speak to me, sarcastic, dismissive. How do I gently correct this without humiliating anyone?
- My child lights up when we show even small acts of affection. How can we build on this without being performative?
- My child now copies me in mocking or dismissing their other parent’s habits. How can I gently take accountability and rebuild respect in the household?
- My child once asked me, 'Why do you always look sad?' after seeing me quietly retreat from every interaction. How do I respond without burdening them?
- My child once asked, 'Do you even love each other?' because we rarely show it outward. How should we respond, and what does that question reflect?
- My child once asked, 'Why do you and Mama never look at each other?' I wanted to cry. How do I answer that honestly without tearing their world?
- My child pauses at the doorway before walking into the room when both of us are there. We are not arguing, but they sense something. What does that silence teach them?
- My child saw me cry after a disagreement with my spouse. Should I have hidden that, or is there a healthy way to explain what happened?
- My child sees my in-laws override my parenting decisions, and I stay silent to avoid conflict. Am I teaching my child that my voice does not matter?
- My child tries to speak when we are talking and we often say, 'Not now.' Could we be teaching them their voice does not matter?
- My in-laws openly criticise how I parent, and my child hears every word. How do I handle this without fuelling resentment or shame in the household?
- My parents are warm, my in-laws are cold. Our child notices the difference. How do we keep their heart soft without letting them develop bias or hurt?
- My partner often walks away mid-argument, slamming doors or refusing to speak for hours. Our child sees it all. What can I do to reduce the emotional fallout for them?
- My spouse always sides with their family during arguments, even when it is about our parenting choices. What message does this send to our child about unity?
- My spouse always tries to 'stay strong' and never expresses sadness. Our child is picking up on that. Are we teaching them that emotions are weakness?
- My spouse and I disagree on discipline, and we often argue about it in the moment, in front of our child. How do we handle such conflicts without undermining each other?
- My spouse and I handle stress very differently, one shuts down, the other panics. Our child watches both. How do we model steadiness when we feel nothing but overwhelm?
- My spouse and I lost our emotional connection after years of stress and hurt. Is it too late to rebuild something for the sake of what our child learns about love?
- My spouse avoids eye contact or gentle interaction unless it is functional. How can I raise this concern without making it about romance, but about our child’s emotional learning?
- My spouse downplays our arguments, saying ‘kids bounce back’. But I worry about long-term emotional effects. How do I handle this difference in mindset?
- My spouse gives instructions or feedback while doing nothing themselves. Our child is picking up on this power dynamic. How do I challenge it gently but clearly?
- My spouse is more relaxed and playful, while I am more structured. Our child seems confused by our contrasting energy. How do we model harmony without pretending to be the same?
- My spouse is not one to apologise, even when they are clearly in the wrong. How do I protect our child from thinking that growth is optional?
- My spouse often dismisses my worries with 'You always overthink'. Our child hears this. Could it be damaging how they learn to express emotions?
- My spouse often mocks or teases me in front of the children, even if it is meant as a joke. I worry this erodes respect. How do we handle this gently?
- My spouse rarely listens when I speak, and our child notices. How do I protect my self-respect without modelling passive acceptance?
- My spouse says 'Just ignore it' whenever I raise concerns about extended family dynamics. But our child is watching. How do I make this a parenting issue, not just a marriage one?
- My spouse says, 'I provide, that should be enough' and avoids domestic involvement. How do I break this pattern without creating disrespect or conflict in front of our child?
- My spouse tends to spiritually disconnect during hardship, while I turn more toward faith. How do we hold emotional unity without forcing the same coping style?
- My spouse tends to win arguments through volume or dominance, even in front of the kids. How can I protect our child from internalising unhealthy power dynamics?
- My spouse tries to show warmth, but I shut it down quickly, not out of dislike, but discomfort. How do I prevent our child from learning the same emotional shutdown?
- Our child once tried to imitate 'being married' by pretending to be bossy and annoyed. How do we shift the example we are setting?
- Our child rarely sees us show affection for each other. Does that affect their emotional security, and how much affection is healthy to display?
- Our child runs to rescue us when we fight. How do we stop making them feel responsible for our arguments?
- Our child shows more tenderness to others than we show to each other. Could that mean they are emotionally compensating?
- Our child started whispering instead of speaking normally, almost as if afraid of disrupting the quiet. Could they be internalising our emotional withdrawal?
- Our fights are not abusive, but our child still flinches or withdraws afterwards. What does that say about what they are absorbing?
- Sometimes I dismiss my spouse’s ideas as 'typical' or 'naive', lightly, but repeatedly. Our child has started doing the same to their sibling. How can I course-correct this?
- Sometimes my spouse uses a harsh tone with me, and our child mimics that later. How can I break that pattern before it takes root in their behaviour?
- There is no affection left between us, no hugs, no kind words, no smiles. Can a child feel the absence even if we are polite and functioning?
- We are both emotionally exhausted and just go through routines. How can we reintroduce softness into our marriage for the sake of our child’s environment?
- We are working on building better rituals, eating together, walking, talking, but it still feels forced. Is it okay to start small and let the child grow into the change?
- We are working on staying calmer during conflict, but how can we model healthy disagreement, not just avoiding fights, but resolving them with grace?
- We argue in whispers, thinking our child does not notice. But they still look tense afterwards. How much do children really pick up from silent tension between parents?
- We argue respectfully, but we never resolve things in front of our kids. Is it important that they witness resolution, not just restraint?
- We avoid all touch in front of the kids, even a light hand on the shoulder. Is that modesty, or are we withholding emotional safety?
- We do not fight, but we also do not listen. There is constant distraction, phones, TV, rushing. How does emotional absence affect what our child learns about communication?
- We express love privately, but our child never sees it. Is it important that they witness it, or is privacy enough?
- We grew up seeing our parents fight, and now we find ourselves repeating the same patterns. How can we unlearn this before it damages our own child?
- We had a death in the family, and we both collapsed emotionally. How do we hold space for our grief while modelling resilience for our child?
- We had love once, but now there is only duty. What parts of that dynamic are my child absorbing as ‘normal’?
- We have different opinions on faith, health, or screen time, and our child sees us subtly criticise each other. How do we protect their clarity while respecting each other’s views?
- We never sat down to divide roles, it just 'happened' over the years. But now our child is growing up assuming mum equals burden and dad equals break. How do we reverse this?
- We often joke at each other’s expense in front of the kids. It feels harmless, but now our child teases people the same way. Have we normalised hurtful humour?
- We only talk about logistics, groceries, school, bills, never anything personal. Our child is growing up watching a purely functional marriage. What effect does that have?
- We pray in the same house but live emotionally apart. How can we reintroduce love in a way that feels real, not forced, for our child to witness?
- We pray together, but emotionally we feel distant. How can we bring warmth back into the relationship in a way our child quietly absorbs?
- We recently had a financial setback, and my spouse and I argued constantly. Our child started acting anxious. How do we protect their sense of security when we feel uncertain ourselves?
- We recently had a miscarriage, and our grief showed up very differently. How do we support each other openly while keeping our child emotionally safe?
- We sleep in separate rooms and do not talk unless necessary. Our child has never asked, but I know they notice. What do I do with that knowing?
- We sometimes argue over money or family in front of the children. How do we explain these issues without making them feel unsafe or burdened?
- We were raised with different expectations, I saw my mother do everything, and my spouse saw equality. Now our child is watching us clash. How do we realign our example?
- When a crisis hits, we either blame each other or go silent. Our child starts misbehaving every time. Could this be emotional spillover?
- When I speak up about unfair treatment from extended family, I am labelled disrespectful, even in front of my children. How do I navigate this without passing down helplessness?
- When my spouse compliments me, I often brush it off. Could that teach our child to downplay appreciation and affection?
- When one of us falls sick, the household turns tense and impatient. How do we model care and teamwork during vulnerability?
- When we disagree, we maintain politeness, but the warmth disappears for days. Is emotional coldness still a negative model for our child?
- When we fight, one of us always ends up sleeping separately. Our child has started asking questions. How do we respond without making things worse?
- Whenever I ask for help, my spouse does it, but with visible irritation. Our child watches this. What message is being passed down about helping at home?
- Whenever I discipline our child, a grandparent immediately defends them. How do I respond without creating division or confusion in my child’s mind?
- Whenever things go wrong, my spouse says 'Allah is punishing us' in front of the children. I fear this is shaping their view of hardship. How do I intervene respectfully?

How can I teach my child patience when food is delayed, or they feel hungry (hangry)?
PostedOctober 30, 2025
UpdatedOctober 30, 2025

Parenting Perspective
Children frequently find it difficult to wait for rewards, particularly when their hunger intensifies their emotions. This state of being ‘hangry’ can reduce impulse control and heighten irritability especially in younger children or those with sensory sensitivities. Instilling patience in these moments requires more than verbal reminders; it demands practical strategies, calm rituals, and modelled self-restraint.

Prepare children for delays
- Offer gentle countdowns: Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes, so let us enjoy some quiet time or read a story until then
- Keep healthy snacks available as nourishment, not bribes
- Name the emotion: I notice you seem frustrated because you are hungry
- Redirect with calming actions: setting the table, choosing a dua card, or slow breathing
- Recognise even short moments of patience
Over time, patience becomes a skill that children practise and master not merely a wish we hope they remember in moments of hunger.
Spiritual Insight
Allah Almighty reminds us in Surah Al Baqarah (2), Verse 153:
O those of you who are believers, seek assistance (from Allah Almighty) through resilience and prayer, indeed, Allah (Almighty) is with those that are resilient.
This verse teaches that patience is not passivity it is spiritual strength in action. Moments of hunger test our ability to maintain composure and rely on Allah Almighty’s provision.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ led a life of profound gratitude, even during scarcity. It is narrated in Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 3254, that he would often go days without cooked meals, responding only with calm and contentment. He also reminded us:
The food of one person is sufficient for two, the food of two is sufficient for four, and the food for four is sufficient for eight.
Help your child internalise this example with the phrase:
- Alhamdulillah for what is on the way.
With gentle repetition and faith-based guidance, children can learn to see hunger not as a source of anger, but as a moment to practise restraint, gratitude, and spiritual focus.
