I try to teach my kids by example for example by saying the doá loudly eg. before / after eating, before sleeping etc. They might not seem that interested at the time, but you'd be amazed at how much they seem to retain. After some time they are the ones that actually remind you... (happening with my 5year old now)
Also, I try to read some Quran together with the kids when I'm putting them in bed. It's become our 'bedtime routine'. And even if I'm too tired, they insist that it has to be done - which is good for me and them!
I wasn't going to sit them down and teach them formally until they were about 7 years old.
Oh and tahfith / hifz = memorization.
Anyone else have any ideas or hints for teaching kids?
Jazakum-Allah khairann for your replies.
