regarding enforcement, didnt the Prophet say if your kids are not praying when they are 10 then beat them? Isnt that enforcement? :S
I dont think thats quite right. would you beat your 11 year old daughter ? beat and hit are two different things. a person who beats there kid is intellectually weak IMO and cant relate to children. there are other ways to discipline a child 7 it shud be left to the parents anyway. If the prophet never used physical violence then why should we ? child abuse is wrong.!!! if someone did that to my daughter, they wudnt be left standing !

I agree with sis amat-allah. & to the OP-sort your air con out, stop being tight with your money, & get some drinks for the kids. its hard for adults to maintain hijab esp in hot uncomfortable surroundings, shes a child.
