It's very nice to have this discussion with you all. I agree 100% that kids need to learn to Love Islam, not be forced to do things without explanations/discussions. My kids love to 'discuss'.
Han19 - this is the first time that I've heard about kids 'receiving' the doá by you blowing on them. Even though u might have seen it done lots, maybe it's better to ask a Shiekh about it. Some cultural practices are not Islamic. Perhaps your kids could learn to say 'Ameen' after you recite, even the very small can say that.
