Preparing for Ramadan With Kids

Ramadan is a month of transformation, and children can be a beautiful part of that experience — even the youngest ones. The key is meeting them where they are.

For toddlers, it might be as simple as decorating the house together. For school-age children, a daily good-deed chart or a short Quran reading before iftar gives them ownership of the month.

We have found that involving children in meal preparation — even just washing dates or setting the table — creates a sense of belonging and anticipation that stays with them for years.
