Upbringing and Tarbiyah

Q: I have a 16 year old son that cannot wake up for Fajr every day. My wife says to me that it is our responsibility to make sure he gets up. Is it really our duty to ensure that he wakes up for Fajr everyday?

In the past, when I would wake him up, he would say that he is getting up, but most of the time, he would not wake up. Sehri is also a problem, though eventually, he does wake up for sehri. My view is that since he is old enough, if he misses salaah, he will be sinful, not his parents.

Q: There is a seven year old girl in our family who has anger issues. When she is angry or upset about something she tends to scream and throw things and forgets whether she is talking to an adult, or other older family members or friends or whether she is in a public place. Its impossible to reason with her then. Also, she gets angry without any reason at times and switches very quickly from happy to angry and vice versa.

Please tell what should we do and what should we recite so that she calms down and becomes less angry and stubborn over time.

Q: My son is about to be 11 years old. My husband and I have started to observe the signs of puberty in him. My husband has decided to give him a talk about the respective topic including sex. The concern is my husband states that the mother of the child must be present whenever this talk is to take place so that if a child has any query regarding the topic concerning the role of a female, a mother is the best source to provide an answer with basic guidelines. In Islam, is the presence of mother a must with respect to above situation?

Q: The children of someone brought up with the teachings of religious duties upto reading the Holy Qur'an texts in Arabic and reading salaah only. Then they proceeded towards worldly education wholeheartedly. Now they are mature but don't perform ritual services punctually though parent advise them frequently.

Is it the false of parent ? What would be the condition of parent in the eye of Allah hereafter? Would the parent sanction punishment as if they didn't taught the children completely. What should they do now?
