Little Steps
For parents and guardians gently introducing children to fasting.
Children aren't required to fast. This is about learning together with kindness. Never pressure a child to fast. Age, health and readiness all matter. Let them stop whenever they want to, and check with a doctor if you have any concerns about their health.
Little Steps is kept completely separate from your own records and is never counted as your make-up fasts. We don't ask for names or any details about your child.
