Raising children is a great responsibility that requires knowledge and wisdom. The father should enjoin good and forbid evil, while dealing gently with his son at this age, showing affection towards him, and avoiding methods of violence and hurtful words. The father must not forget that his prayer for his son is answered, and he should take advantage of the child's young age for advice and guidance. He also needs to rectify the mother's situation so that she can be a help to him.
