A few days separate us from the celebration of Eid al-Adha, the day when adults rush before children to feel joy and happiness with the family if it is small, or to gather with the family. In addition to preparing the sacrifice and the feast, there may be some young children who do not know anything about the rituals of the great feast. This year is the first for them to know these details, as human relations expert Sabreen Jaber explained in her interview with “The Seventh Day” some simple steps to get your child to prepare for Eid al-Adha with joy, happiness and joy as follows.

Tell him the story of the sacrifice

The human relations expert said that it is necessary to introduce the child to the story of our master Ibrahim and focus on defining the reason for the sacrifice and why we sacrifice on this day, especially if the child follows these rituals for the first time and participates in them, and you must also explain the virtue of Hajj to him and its rituals and that it is one of the pillars of Islam.

Make him prepare to distribute the sacrificial meat

Children are instinctively loving goodness and seeking it, especially if they know that the reward for benevolence is benevolence. The human relations expert confirmed that when a child learns that he will distribute the meat of the sacrifice to the poor and needy, this positive act will be cemented in his personality, and he will even have a habit until he grows up that he does not neglect it.

Eid

Buy him new clothes or a toy

And the human relations expert continued that the child is happy with new things and buying them, as we know very well that it is a meat feast and not new clothes, but there is nothing wrong with bringing a new T-shirt, pajamas, or even a toy in the form of an Eid sheep for your child to feel double happiness.

Have him communicate with the parents and request their attendance

Especially if the parents, especially the grandparents, are far away from you, make your child invite them, or even talk to them and tell them that he will come to them on the holiday, as this matter consolidates the family bonding and the kinship bond.
