Boys and Communication: Phones | Boys Will Be Men
https://jamilahk.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/boys-and-communication-phones
Boys Will Be Men. Boys and Media: The Internet. Boys and Communication: Phones. It’s late so I’ll keep this one short, but it’s an important topic and one that applies to girls just as much as it does to boys. Cell phones. Times changed, though, as the my three younger sons came into their teens. Our fourth had his first phone when he started college, so his situation was similar to his older brothers’. With the fifth, though, I decided to buy him a phone as soon as he entered high school. Blog at WordPr...

Boys. . .And Girls | Boys Will Be Men
https://jamilahk.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/boys-and-girls
Boys Will Be Men. Boys and Compassion →. As I mentioned, I grew up in an all-girl household. And when I was in high school and had a boyfriend (years before I became a Muslim) I used to wonder if he talked about me with his family or his guy friends. I talked about him, but was it the same with guys? Boys do think about girls, I know that, whether or not they obsess over them. And while we Muslim parents don’t allow dating, there are ways to deal with this:. So I haven’t played the matchmaker yet a...

Double Standards? | Boys Will Be Men
https://jamilahk.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/double-standards
Boys Will Be Men. Foul Language →. One concern I’ve heard from parents with daughters is the need to protect their girls. Sometimes the girls are limited in their activities. Often they’re required to go to college in their hometown. The parents may even play a very active role in the daughter’s choice of a husband and, unfortunately, too many girls are told to marry men they haven’t chosen. This is addressed very clearly in the Qur’an: Impure women are for impure men and impure men are for impure ...

Boys Will Be Men. Newer posts →. Boys and Media: The Internet. Sometimes I wish I’d had the internet years ago. I could have kept in touch easily with my friends from high school and college, I could have asked for advice as a new mother, and I could have talked with my family here in the U.S. while we were living in Thailand. But in other ways I’m very glad that the internet didn’t come around sooner. At first we had only the one desktop for the family. But, as a writer, I wanted to have a little mo...
