As you can see we're about to change our clocks again. When that happens I personally have a couple of other routines I also try to do at the same time, just as a way to remember some things that I don't need to do very often, but do need to get done around the house.
Here's what you can do when you also change your clocks:
• Air and turn your mattresses
• Clean drapes and curtains, and replace lighter or heavier ones, depending on the season
• Wash rugs and clean carpets
• Do a deeper clean of your basement, garage and/or attic
• Take the time to make this your seasonal cleaning weekend, such as for spring cleaning or fall cleaning
• Rotate your wardrobe for new season, either warmer clothes in the fall or cooler clothes in the spring. Use this as an opportunity to also declutter clothes you no longer like, fit into, or are stained or damaged.
• Make sure your supplies are up to date in your first aid kit (check this first aid kit checklist for more details) and in your emergency preparedness kit (see emergency supply list for more details)
• Check your smoke detectors and at least once a year change the batteries in them, whether you think the batteries need to be changed or not
• Check your flashlights you keep on each floor of your home to make sure batteries work in case of loss of power
• Check fire extinguisher in kitchen and other locations of house to confirm they are in good working order
• Update your family's fire escape plans and practice a family fire drill
The reason that these set dates are such a good time to do these chores is because it comes during a change of seasons, when several things need to be done around your house.
Further, these types of routine things that don't occur at least monthly can be difficult to remember in general, and also to remember when you did it last. A set time every year can help jog your memory, making the task easier for you to recall.
So this year try doing some of these additional steps when you are going around to each room of your house (and don't forget your car!) changing your clocks.

Girls’ much-higher rate of depression than boys is closely linked to the greater time they spend on social media, and online bullying and poor sleep are the main culprits for their low mood, new research reveals.
As many as three-quarters of 14-year-old girls who suffer from depression also have low self-esteem, are unhappy with how they look and sleep for seven hours or less each night, the study found.

Controlling our tongues around our children.
There are countless Hadiths and ayahs in the Quran that talk about the importance of choosing good words and remaining conscious of ones speech.
However for some reason many parents are guilty of letting their tongues loose around their children.
Allah Almighty said:
*Speak good words to people *(2:83).
Another hadith and verse:
“A man used to have two or three names by which he was called. Perhaps he hated one of them, so Allah revealed the verse:
“Do not insult each other with offensive nicknames.” (49:11)
Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3268

🧮15 Tips to Raising Great Children
Children are easily influenced by their surroundings. These days, it is extremely difficult to expose our children to an ideal Islamic environment given the influences from media, friends and even other members of the family.
With television, radio, Internet and forms of media mostly touting un-Islamic values, it is up to parents and adults close to the children to set the correct example.
It is impossible to shield our children from all the negative forces that can shape their minds and, ultimately, their behavior.
However, by our own example and showing them better options, we can set them on the true path, which is to obey the commandments of Allah Ta'ala and our Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
Here are some tips you may want to follow in helping your children grow up with Islamic values.
*1️⃣Start by teaching them the importance of Worshipping only Allah* : The best thing any Muslim parent could ever teach their children is to emphasize, from the day they can comprehend, that Allah (Subhaanahu WaTa'ala) is One and no one is worthy of worship except Allah. This is the fundamental message of our Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and it is our key to Paradise.
*2️⃣Treat them kindly* : Kindness begets kindness. If we were kind to our children, they in turn would show kindness to others. Our Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was the best example in being kind to children.
*3️⃣Teach them examples of Muslim heroes* :Instead of Batman or Superman, tell them about real heroes such as Abu Bakr, Umar ibn Khattab, Othman bin Affan, Ali bin Abi Talib and others. Tell them how Muslim leaders brought a real peaceful change in the world and won the hearts of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
*4️⃣Let children sit with adults* : It is preferable for children to be among adults, especially when listening to Islamic lectures. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would often put children in the front row when he spoke to the people.
*5️⃣Make them feel important* : Consult them in family matters. Let them feel they are important members of the family and have a part to play in the growth and well being of the family.
*6️⃣Go out as a family* : Take family trips rather than allowing your children to always go out only with their friends. Let your children be around family and friends from whom you want them to pick up their values. Always remember that your children will become who they are around with most of the time. So, watch their company and above all give them YOUR company.

Let your children be around family and friends from whom you want them to pick up their values. Always remember that your children will become who they are around with most of the time. So, watch their company and above all give them YOUR company.
*7️⃣Praise them* : Praise is a powerful tool with children, especially in front of others. Children feel a sense of pride when their parents’ praise them and will be keen to perform other good deeds. However, praise must be limited to Islamic deeds and deeds of moral value.
*8️⃣Avoid humiliation* : Similarly, do not humiliate them in front of others. Children make mistakes. Sometimes, these mistakes occur in their efforts to please the parents. If you are unhappy with your children, tell them in private.
*9️⃣Sports* : The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged sports such as swimming, running and horse riding. Other sports that build character and physical strength are also recommended, as long as the children maintain their Islamic identity, wear appropriate clothes and do not engage in unnecessary mixing.
*🔟Responsibility*: Have faith in their abilities to perform tasks. Give them chores to do in line with their age. Convince them that they are performing an important function and you will find them eager to help you out again.
*1️⃣1️⃣Don’t spoil them* : Children are easily spoiled. If they receive everything they ask for, they will expect you to oblige on every occasion. Be wise in what you buy for them. Avoid extravagance and unnecessary luxuries. Take them to an orphanage or poor area of your city once in a while so they can see how privileged they are.
*1️⃣2️⃣Don’t be friends:* It is common in the West for parents to consider their children as friends. In Islam, it doesn’t work that way. If you have ever heard how friends talk to each other, then you will know that this is not how a parent-child relationship should be. You are the parents, and they should respect you, and this is what you should be teaching them. The friendship part should be limited to you and them keeping an open dialog so they can share their concerns with you and ask you questions when they have any.
*1️⃣3️⃣Pray with them:* Involve them in acts of worship. When they are young, let them see you in act of salaah (salat). Soon, they would be trying to imitate you. Wake them up for Fajr and pray as a family. Talk to them about the rewards of salaah so that it doesn’t feel like a burden to them.
*1️⃣4️⃣Emphasize halaal:* It is not always good to say ‘this is haraam, that is haraam’. While you must educate them on haraam things, Islam is full of halaal and tell your children to thank Allah Ta'ala for the bounties He has bestowed on them- not just for food and clothes. Tell them to be thankful for having eyes that see, ears that hear, arms and legs and, the ultimate blessing, Islam in their hearts.
*1️⃣5️⃣Set an example:* As parents, you are the best example the children can have. If you talk to your parents rudely, expect your children to do the same to you. If you are disrespectful to others, your children will follow too. Islam is filled with Divine advice on the best ways to bring up your children. That makes it an obligation upon parents to be good Muslims so their children will try to emulate them. If you don’t take Islam seriously, neither will your children. It goes back to our third point, which is to give them Islamic heroes. As a parent, you should be their number one hero.
