00:00:00.000One thing that, and again, so, you know, if I had several grown children that this had all proved effective on, I would feel more secure in my advice on it.
00:00:13.680What I do think is beneficial is doing a meal blessing before eating every time.
00:00:20.800It's a simple way to build into your child a habit of being reverent before you eat and, you know, when it comes about explaining why, why we bless the food, why we give thanks, why we hail the Iseer, why we hail the folk, why we hail the AFA.
00:00:48.200that leads to age appropriate conversation. I think another thing that is facilitated by our
00:00:57.720days of remembrance is acknowledging them and toasting them during meals, you know, on that day
00:01:05.900and then explaining who those people are and why they're special. And again, depends on the age
00:01:13.120level of your child some some of the stories are more brutal than some of the others so
00:01:22.080conveying those in a way that's going to have your children embrace them and not be
00:01:27.520scared by them i think is important but i think conversation around the heroes is
00:01:34.880very easily accessible this isn't really a dinner time conversation per se though it can be but
00:01:47.120finding touchstones throughout life throughout the day to get those little habits in one of the
00:01:53.920things that is um accessible to us where i live there's a lot of thunder often every time it
00:02:02.480thunders we hail for and uh aubrey will enthusiastically do that with us and she will also
00:02:09.360point out if we forget and we don't she becomes kind of the the enforcer of maintaining that
00:02:16.160tradition which is nice same thing with blessing meals she will notice if you're out somewhere
00:02:21.200it's not convenient and you don't she'll remember that um so those things have helped
00:02:29.440have helped me and that's what i would suggest i'd also suggest meal time is a good time to
00:02:33.760talk about your ancestors and to tell their stories it's very accessible to children it's
00:02:40.560i mean it's always a good time to talk about the gods but talking about your ancestors is something
00:02:45.600that i think is it is an easier point of connection sometimes so i would always
00:02:51.280encourage that as well. But yeah, those are my suggestions on it.
