The psychiatrist and disability specialist at the Al -Masirah Center -Al -Amal, stressed the grandfather of Dr. Azimi Abdul Rahim families who have children with autism commitment to the times without change …

She emphasized that even if the parents’ schedule and the family change, the child’s schedule does not change radically, as sleeping, eating and training dates must be preserved and training in the use of the bathroom as it is without change.

Dr. Gazzi added that Ramadan is a time that we may exaggerate in eating, but imagine what? This is a great opportunity to introduce selective children to new types of foods, such as placing small pieces of every type of food in front of the child, whether eating them or not eating them, this is a good start.

Dr. Adji, who follow the CFGF diet (free of casual and gluten), advised to continue to follow the same diet during the holy month.

Dr. Gazzi stressed that breakfast time is a great opportunity to communicate with the child and teach him to say “in the name of God” before eating.

Say it in a clear and exaggerated voice so that the child can imitate you, because imitation is the first form of learning, make it a daily habit for the child to be associated with and feel the spirit of Ramadan …

And make breakfast time for the family to express gratitude. Glory to everything, and above all, gratitude for the presence of a child made you become religion.

These moments enhance family ties and make us appreciate small and large blessings in our lives.
