^ not a parent (hence the stupid Q) but when kids see other kids running around, having fun/misbehaving...aren't they likely to do the same? no matter what the parent has taught them otherwise?
Not a parent that's why you don't understand and won't tolerate at all.
I always took my babies and toddlers to jummah prayer when I was able, and I think that it is an excellent idea. Christian children go to church throughout, and they are taught how to behave appropriately from the time they are toddlers. I always took something to keep my children busy, whether it was crayons and a coloring book, a few small toys, a bag of cheerios and juice, etc. Children need to learn to behave in any situation, and it is important for them to be exposed to the masjid from a very early age.
Agree. Totally agree.
