Many children are encouraged and inspired by their parents to fast during the Holy Month of Ramadan. However, fasting can be a difficult time for children. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before your child starts fasting to ensure their overall health and wellbeing.

Here are a few tips for parents to ensure their children have a healthy and comfortable fasting experience:

• Ensure your children drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and fatigue.
• Don’t engage your children in high-intensity exercises to minimize thirst during the day.
• Limit the amount of sweets your children consume as these can increase the risk of diabetes.
• Avoid giving your children carbonated drinks and salty and fried foods as these can decrease body fluid levels.
• Ensure your children consume a nutritious Suhoor meal consisting of foods rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, and fibers to stay full for longer.
