How can I begin?
Let children participate willingly and briefly. Explain the meaning in words they understand; listening is also an option. Keep medical care, education and a child’s own comfort central.
Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
