Ramadhan is a blessing of Allah (s.w.t) and everyone should get advantage of it. Don't let it go without benefiting your child. In this month Allah (s.w.t) gives you rewards 70 times more than usual.
You can set your goals for your child this Ramadan. Fasting whole day or a part of it, Learning Tajweed, memorizing certain surahs of the holy Quran, etc. You can also work upon improving their Islamic behavior. You can help them improving on a characteristic such as being nice, helping others, being patient etc.
Given below is a book for Ramadhan activities and a Video which explains it.
You can help the kids to understand that it is good for them to set the goals and achieve them. Children learn from environment. If you encourage them and appreciate them, they'll take interest. For this purpose, their teacher can talk to them, you can talk to them or someone who has a friendly relationship with them. Once you and your child decide the goals, then start helping them achieve the goals. Remember: the goals must be achievable according to their age.
Strategies
Help your child find ways to reach their goals. Help them make the goals possible, and write them down. For example, if the goal is to read 1 juz from the holy Quran, then give them a plan to read it in different times. like one quarter before school, half Juz after school, and the remaining one quarter in evening. The same way for the other goals.
Chart Progress
To help your child see their progress and motivate them not to give up, take help from the coloring book. In the charts given in book they fill up and highlight each successful step. The Ramadha activities book is as simple as a 30 days calendar, and you can place a sticker when your child has accomplished each small step. Or simply take a picture of the work done and send to their Islamic teacher. Simple and easy. :)
Celebrate Success
Depending on the age of your child and the goals you set, you can decide to celebrate their small successes. This could be at each maghrib, or the end of the week. You can celebrate it by offering a reward of some kind.
If your children were not successful in reaching their short-term goals, then do a review and decide on a different strategy. At the end of Ramadan, you can even have a big celebration for your child’s success at reaching their goals!
