Fasting and Family Home Evening

*Family Home Evening is a night set apart to spend time as a family in the Latter-Day Saint Faith. I will be using scriptures and talks given by leaders in the church. Feel free to use these for your family*

Fasting is very hard for children to understand. It is hard to be hungry for adults, but children find it even more difficult. We do not force the fast on our children under the age of 8, and between 8 and 12, we will have them try to fast as long as possible

Fast Sunday is a week that we almost always have to battle with our oldest daughter because she would rather go to a friend's house and avoid fasting. Therefore, Family Home Evening teaching the children the importance of fasting can help ease the pain.
