Assalamualaikum,
How’s Ramadhan
with you and your child? Are you finding it difficult to train your child in Ramadhan?
A few tips I can share with you are as follows:
1. Do not force them…. the word is
training. But training you must. You can train them fasting for half the day or
just drinking, no food. Inshaallah lets target by the 20th Ramadhan at least they
can fast for a few days. Or encourage them to fast two days a week. If they can
do that willingly….Mashaa Allah let’s celebrate!
2. Give them activities to do. If your
child is in daycare then ensure that the school has many activities for our
kids to do to divert their mind from food! If they are at home with you then create
activities like storytelling and art and craft so that they will have something
to do. A word of caution, not too much tab or tv please!
3. Keep talking about the rewards that Allah will
give in Ramadhan if we fast. Relate to Allah’s reward and pleasure so that we
can train them to fast to please Allah. Allah loves good khalifah who fast. If
Allah is happy we will enter Jannah…in Jannah we can eat as many things as we
like. If Allah is happy we will live a happy life.
4. Remind them of all the children who
do not have food in this world. Show them a few pictures of children who are
malnourished so that they can think and have sympathy and empathy for these
unfortunate children. Teach them to also give sadaqah and make doa for these
children because they are also our brothers and sisters.
Inshaa
Allah may these few tips can help us all to train our children towards becoming
a good khalifah of Allah.
