“How can dialogue be fruitful? The answer to this question is the most important thing in this treatise because many of us now realise that a new method must be employed in training children and interacting with them. Many now believe more in holding consultations in family life, and in dialogues and negotiations; but because they lack proper knowledge and expertise regarding the principles and morals to be observed in doing this, their attempts at holding dialogue often end with quarrels, arguments and divergence of views. This is why you would all recall many situations in which the wisest person in a family would say, “I hope we do not discuss this topic any further for now, so that nerves are not frayed or we end up disagreeing and each one of us gets up and goes into his room.” — Abdul Karim Bakkar
