What is best for the children.. to leave them a balance in the banks.. or leave them real estate that we give them to start their lives with.. or leave them companies and institutions that protect them from the evil of time.. or spend the value of all this on their education and rehabilitation.. or try to do everything That together?! It is the difficult question facing parents. The family is the investment market in which money is invested in construction. It is the real factory that produces people. When a person builds himself well, he builds a good father for his children, and when he chooses a good wife, he chooses a mother who is able to raise his children. In short, a person builds his life’s project in which his children will invest.
The term investment in human resources and people is a new term that sets standards for this complex issue, even within every family. The administration addresses people’s interests, hobbies, and aspirations, what they like and what they hate. A person is an integrated whole with what he possesses of thoughts, feelings and sensations, and not as some view it as a pair of hands and feet.
Therefore, investing in human resources is an investment in money, but not by pumping money only, but in terms of time and giving an opportunity to learn. The individual has the right to make mistakes and discuss his mistake in order to evaluate his behavior, and this is a type of indirect investment, while direct investment is through training. and rehabilitation.
Investing in education:
Many scholars and researchers unanimously agree that the best kind of investment in children is to invest in education, as the human being is the main focus of creativity and invention, so it is the most important value of life. Some parents are mistaken in their belief that children’s investment in education means choosing a model school or university and paying a certain amount of money only, without paying attention to the other aspects and details of the children’s lives, and this is a short view because it covers one aspect, which is teaching the curriculum, while there are more important aspects. Which is to invest our children psychologically, physically, intellectually and morally to include this investment in all aspects of life, but without a doubt that good education is the best way to invest, but it is not the only way, there is no meaning for a person who is well educated while his personality is not suitable to face life and its difficulties. Therefore, we work with the maximum possible capacity at Qudra Educational Academy to link the religious belief, the curriculum and the future practical life through
The religious belief (representing the memorization of the Noble Qur’an and the teaching of the Sunnah of the Prophet)
Curriculum (the classroom curriculum issued by the Ministry of Education)
And the future working life (through technology and information technology education) and here we will stand a little and say

Opening up space for achievement and growth
- · ” Arousing the child’s imagination ” The child’s use of educational programs on the computer gives him imagination and vision, which is what the child needs in his early life, and as Einstein said, ” Imagination is more important than data .”
- The child’s use of the computer gives him a feeling of being in control of the sequence of the program level, in the next step he wants to follow, and thus he feels self-confident .
- It uses logic through trial and error, and thus helps the child to think logically and analytically; Because it introduces the concept that entering the information is logical and correct, it produces similar results .
- Contributes to encouraging the child to use the language and match the language used with the visual objects through text, image and sound programs .
- Through collective educational programs, the child learns collective learning and participation in reaching a specific solution, and collective learning is a starting point for the main knowledge of things and then denouncing a previous experience related to this knowledge, and collective learning is based on two bases : First, focus on social interaction and the exchange of knowledge and experiences . Second, learning through action (Learning by doing)
- The computer benefits the child as it increases his self-confidence and develops his leadership ability through his control of the computer . Among the things that raise the child’s self-confidence is his knowledge of various sciences and arts, which make him feel superior and distinguished from his friends and his ability to do many things that other children cannot do.

Develop hobbies:
* But some think that hobbies are a waste of time..?
This is true, and some parents actually view their children’s hobbies and inclinations as a luxury and stand in the way of their development. They may think that hobbies such as sports or painting waste children’s time and distract them from their studies and building their future. Contrary to this misconception, developing children’s inclinations is one of the most important ways to educate and develop them. ways of thinking and enhancing their self-confidence. We must be educated and open-minded parents while preserving what is right from our faith, customs and traditions. In some cases, we must also intervene to direct the tendencies of our children in what is in their interest, for we, by virtue of our life experiences, may be more aware and understanding of life.
Critical thinking:
* In the context of a good education, some children force their children to choose a particular specialization as it offers the best financial opportunities after graduation, so how do you see that..?
This dilemma that always occurs between us and our children about what we want, and what they want, is a reality, whether we like it or not, but we must pay attention to the fact that there are data available in the environment surrounding our children, providing them with an opportunity to form their critical thinking that gives them the keys to solving life’s problems and difficulties. If we can develop this thinking in them, it does not matter which fields they will study, because they will be able to adapt this study to serve their practical lives through new innovations that contribute to developing their lives and reflect positively on building society, teaching the skill of solving problems and dealing with change in society is more important From the field of study itself, study is a person’s passport and it is not necessary to adhere to it, but there is an opportunity for creativity and development.
Time for your children.
Is investing in children limited to leaving them the freedom of choice and providing good educational opportunities?
Investing in children is not only with money, and not by providing opportunities, but we must also invest part of our time for the sake of children, and part of our work in human resource development is community contribution, and one of the most important aspects is the application of management concepts to the family, and in this field we would like Addressing a concept in management called “feedback”, which means knowing the extent of customers’ satisfaction with the services provided, and this concept can be applied to our children. You can allocate an hour a month for each of your sons, go out with him alone, listen to him, learn about his problems and concerns, and give him It is part of your experiences that are suitable for his time and are compatible with him, and at the same time you get from him the feedback on managing family affairs, where you made a mistake and where you got it wrong, so you make him feel his importance to you, and teach him new ways to communicate with himself and with others. The family is an investment project that needs management.
– Before it’s too late:
There is a divergence between members of the Arab family imposed by life circumstances and the acceleration of time, but this is not a justification for not giving enough time for our family life, as we may wake up too late. And the family, “During the training, we show a 30-second snapshot, performed by people playing with the ball, and during this snapshot a person wearing a “gorilla” dress passes, asking the trainees to count the number of times the ball touched the ground, and the number of times the players caught it.
After the shot is over, I ask the trainees, is there anything strange that happened while playing? Surprisingly, one or two of the thirty trainees notice the passing of the gorilla, while the rest, despite the incorrectness of their answer about the number, do not notice that anything has passed. Exactly this is what may happen with our children, a catastrophe or a major calamity may pass while we are preoccupied with small details and do not realize them until it is too late, so we must be in constant communication and aware of all the details that surround us.
