I know that it isn’t required for girls to pray in jamaat but I find the idea beautiful. My daughters get exposed to jamaat in the masjid behind the Imam at least once a day but other times, we encourage them to pray behind their dad.
Personally, I feel that practice makes perfect, jamaat teaches seriousness and discipline, brings unity in a family, and most importantly, brings submission.

Re: Praying in jamaat
my bhabhi and I used to pray Jammat together. There are more blessings/sawab in jammat, so if she's praying in one room and I'm praying in the other, might as well pray together.
hubby and I sometimes pray in Jammat together well.
again, the family the prays together, stays together.
Re: Praying in jamaat
^ I agree. My husband's family is pretty strict regarding praying in Jamat, and I came from a family where we (i.e. the women) prayed on our own when at home. So it was definitely something new for me to see the whole family praying together. I personally really like it, and insha'Allah we'll continue once we have kids. I do think it will help kids get in the habit of praying at an earlier age than if left alone.
Re: Praying in jamaat
We had come into the habit of praying in jamaat at home but for reasons of modesty, since not all the ladies would always be praying (
), the practice fell apart for a daily routine. We tend to fall back into praying by jamaat during ramzan.
I definitely agree with you on the discipline and unity portion…it is like ensuring that the family has meals together…brings us closer.
