Believe me, you don’t understand hunger until you have gone without, day after day, after very long day. For me, the most fulfilling part of Ramadan is the choice I make to observe it. Most Muslim parents who choose to observe the fast encourage their children to do practice fasts, from a young age. My kids started their Ramadan training by age six or seven by “fasting” between the early morning suhoor meal until lunchtime. When they got older, they would fast a few days during Ramadan, knowing they could break their fast if it got too hard.
