Healthy fasting for children


Bubur lambuk is a popular dish during Ramadan. It's also a good dish to give your kids who have just started to fast.

Are you about to get your children started on fasting? Don’t worry, there’s a safe and healthy way to get your child to fast.

GENERALLY, children who have not yet hit puberty do not have to fast. However, as they get older, you may want to start preparing your child for this ritual. You can start encouraging your child to begin fasting at the age of seven by getting him to fast for a few hours a day and gradually introduce him/her to all-day fasting.
