Getting Kids to Dress Well

***

Living in the end times like today we as parents are required to always be vigilant in all conditions and things. Including about the dress code for beloved sons.

Wh why? Because out there are many acts of evil that lurk. Among them abuse of minors was the case was increasingly troubling and very terrible.

Children should be taught to wear clothes that cover the aurat and do not show their curves, because wearing clothes that show the aurat or body shape can be a trigger for crime.

It can all happen because there is a cause and an opportunity. Among them because sometimes parents are negligent in the way of clothes worn by the child who is considered trivial.

The best figure of parents is that which can be a good role model for his beloved sons. So, preferably before we ask the little one to wear closed clothes, we also have to maintain the appearance in front of the children. Moreover, children are very fast in terms of imitation. If we as parents wear well-mannered clothes that cover the aura, of course it has become an inspiration that moves the heart of the baby to wear the same clothes.

"Mama, why, anyway, if Mama wants to leave the house must change long clothes and wear a veil first?" Such a question is often asked by little Dila, he said, to me every time I see this mother is wearing a short negligee inside the house and change to wear a robe when they want to dry clothes or just shop for vegetables outside.

"Because we as women have to dress that closes the aurat" I replied.

I also tried to explain to him if the aurat is a member or part of the body that should not be seen by others. The limit of aurat for women is the whole body except the face and palms. For men, it is from the navel to below the knee.

Since then, the little one always asks to always wear pants and long clothes and wear a veil every time he wants to leave the house.

As early as possible, children should be accustomed to wearing clothes according to their type. Boys wear men's clothes, girls wear women's clothes. With the hope in the future there will be no deviation that violates the nature and sharia of Islam.

Also, give an understanding of the shame of your child if wearing open clothes that means not being polite and not respecting yourself. How can others appreciate us if we ourselves do not value our own limbs.

What must be instilled in the child's heart is to have a fear of sin when not wearing clothing that is in accordance with the Shari'a. That is the clothing that closes the aurat perfectly that has been exemplified by the Prophet either for men or women.

Because the feeling of khauf (fear) is what will always be a shield in the child later after growing up. This attitude is also an attempt to form the character of piety that must be owned by the Muslim generation in order to remain on the directional path in the Islamic corridor.

In order not to be swayed by the rise of western fashion culture that continues to be intensified by the capitalists both through the media and public figures who continue to try to influence our generation to follow the current style.
