Navigating New Years as Muslim parents?

 

Navigating New Years as Muslim parents? 😳
- “Mommy, why don’t we celebrate New Years?”
- “What’s wrong in celebrating it?”
- “Celebrating New Years has nothing to do with religion, it’s just a cultural thing done all over the world!”
🙌 Do these questions sound familiar?
📍 Start with basics and be firm. Let your child know that we do not celebrate or indulge in these traditions. There is zero compromise on this.
📍 Explain the “whys” but give kids alternatives so they don’t feel left out.
📍 Create Meaningful Traditions: Establish unique family traditions during the holiday season that align with Islamic values. This can include charitable acts, spending quality time together, or engaging in activities that promote kindness and compassion.
📍 Engage in Alternative Celebrations: Consider organizing gatherings with fellow Muslim families, hosting potlucks, game nights, or family-friendly events within the community.
How are you navigating your child's questions?
