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?
