إِنَ‏ خَيْرَ مَا وَرَّثَ‏ الْآبَاءُ لِأَبْنَائِهِمُ الْأَدَبُ، لَاالْمَالُ؛ فَإِنَّ الْمَالَ يَذْهَبُ، وَ الْأَدَبَ يَبْقى‏ .

الإمام السّجاد (عليه السَّلام):

وَ أَمَّا حَقُّ الصَّغِيرِ فَرَحْمَتُهُ وَ تَثْقِيفُهُ وَ تَعْلِيمُهُ وَ الْعَفْوُ عَنْهُ وَ السَّتْرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ الرِّفْقُ بِهِ وَ الْمَعُونَةُ لَهُ وَ السَّتْرُ عَلَى جَرَائِرِ حَدَاثَتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ سَبَبٌ لِلتَّوْبَةِ وَ الْمُدَارَاةُ لَهُ وَ تَرْكُ مُمَاحَكَتِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى لِرُشْدِه .‏

Imam al-Sajjad (as):

The right of a youngster is that you should show mercy to him educate him well, teach him and pardon him, cover his faults and treat him gently, help him and conceal the offences of his young age [from others], for this will cause him to repent, you should also treat him amicably and avoid quarreling with him for that is more likely to rectify him.

الإمام السّجاد (عليه السَّلام):

وَ أَمَّا حَقُّ وَلَدِكَ فَأَنْ تَعْلَم‏ …ِ وَ أَنَّكَ مَسْئُولٌ عَمَّا وُلِّيتَهُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْأَدَبِ وَ الدَّلَالَةِ عَلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمَعُونَةِ له عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ فَاعْمَلْ فِي أَمْرِهِ عَمَلَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مُثَابٌ عَلَى الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاقَبٌ عَلَى الْإِسَاءَةِ إِلَيْه .‏

Imam al-Sajjad (as):

The right of your child is that you should know that you are responsible for what has been assigned to you regarding him, that is teaching him good manners, guiding him towards his Lord, and helping him in His obedience, so deal with him like the one who knows that he will be rewarded for doing good to him, and punished for mistreating him.

الإمام الرّضا (عليه السَّلام ):

مُرِ الصَّبيَّ فلْيَتَصدَّقْ بيدِهِ بالكِسْرةِ و القَبْضةِ و الشَّيءِ و إنْ قَلَّ ، فإنَّ كلَّ شيءٍ يُرادُ بهِ اللّهُ ـ و إنْ قَلَّ ـ بعدَ أنْ تَصدُقَ النِّيّةُ فيهِ عظيمٌ .

Imam al-Reḍa (as):

Instruct the child to give charity with his own hand, be it a piece of bread or a handful of [food] or any other small thing, for everything - no matter how little it is -if done for the sake of Allah and with an honest intention- is great.
