I work in a school and there are many children fasting. While non-fasting kids eat their lunch, those who are fasting leave the classroom and go to some area specially designated for them. Since some of them are as small as 9 years old I am appalled at their will power and enthusiasm. Not all muslim kids are fasting though, and those who are - I don't find any change in their participation in the class. The feeling of devotion towards God makes one strong willed, that's the lesson I learned from these kids.
