Ibn's Social-Emotional Development

Since the day I gave birth to bint, I have been wearing slippers in the house. There are times when I do not put them on. One day, I saw ibn carrying the slippers and following wherever I went in the house. Only when I got seated, he passed to me. I realized that he was reminding me to put the slippers on in the house (very sweet of him, isn't it?). On this note, ibn knows the owner of a certain belongings just by observing. May Allah makes him a kind soul. Ameen.

Ibn has a pair of Spongebob Squarepants slippers. He will at times wear them in the house. Yesterday, we noticed that he removed them before getting on the carpet. I was wondering why he did that. Actually, he has been modelling me, as I will remove my slippers before stepping onto the carpet.

Kids are kids. They model and observe what others do and act based on the knowledge that they gain.
