How does Wise Compass teach children to communicate without hurting others?
Words have the power to build or to break, and teaching a child to communicate without hurting others is a vital part of their moral education. Many Muslim parents worry about the influence of online bullying or rude comments that children encounter in their daily lives. Wise Compass addresses this by showing that our speech is a reflection of our Iman and our respect for others. Our platform focuses on social and emotional learning by helping children understand the weight of their words before they speak them, encouraging a heart centered approach to conversation.
Our stories, authored by a qualified scholar, use relatable scenarios to model kind and effective communication. In ‘The Twisted Tree’, children are encouraged to notice inner habits like stubbornness or the urge to say something mean. By seeing the impact of these choices on others through our full-colour illustrations, children develop a sense of Rahmah, or mercy. This values-based reading approach teaches them that being honest, or Sidq, does not have to be hurtful. With the help of expressive audio narration, children can hear the tone of a character’s voice, which is just as important as the words themselves. This builds their emotional intelligence and helps them navigate social pressures with a calm and thoughtful spirit. By providing these Islamic stories for kids, we support your parenting by giving your child the tools to be a source of goodness in their community. We aim to foster a sense of identity that is rooted in kindness, ensuring that your child’s communication is always a means of bringing people together rather than pushing them away, creating lasting bonds built on respect.
