A teen Alhamdulillah core memory right here. 🙏🏻 During adolescence, teenagers explore who they are. They develop a sense of self and identity very much influenced by their environment. Religion is an environmental factor and faith based practices, excursions and rituals can support with cultivating Muslim identity in this stage of a teenagers life. A memory that can be referred to with awe and fondness as we can see here with Elif and Emre is a memory that supports connection and attachment to Him. 🤍 During this crucial stage of child development, a positive attachment to faith can support teen mental health and Muslim mental health, and importantly act as a protective factor to the many challenges Muslim adolescents face growing up. . . . . . . . . . #umrah2023 #muslimchildren #muslimfamily #muslimmentalhealth #muslimcommunity #muslimidentity #faithandmentalhealth #spiritualityandmentalhealth #teentravel #muslimmentalhealthadvocate #teenhealth #teenmentalhealth #parentsofteens #adolescents #parentsofteenagers #psychoeducation #psychologytoday #emotionalwellbeing #mentalhealthadvocacy #parentingislam #islamicparenting #london
