Rattle your brain
01. Buy all necessities for the month of Ramadan before Ramadan so you can spend less time during the holy month rushing
around. You can be more focused on your religious rituals and spiritual development. Everyone in the family, even the kids,
can participate, writing a shopping list, preparing some meals to be stored in the freezer.
02. If you have gotten into bad sleeping habits throughout the year, start readjusting now so you can wake up for Fajr prayer
at awaal e waqat.
03. Reduce TV watching and prepare the family for the new spirit of Ramadan. Engage with your kids more and more in crea-
tive activities that remind them of Ramadan. (Suggested activities including reading the moral story books in group).
04. Plan ahead for the time you are spend at home in order not to lose the balance between your responsibility as a parent to
supervise the children's studies and your engagement in religious practices such as reading Quran and praying Salat.
05. Prepare your kids before Ramadan that they have to help you more in housework and in setting the table and preparing
the Iftar. Relate their action with the notion of Sadaqah and good deeds. Remind them that the reward of their good deeds is
multiplied during Ramadan.
