Ramadan always brings a special atmosphere, doesn't it, Mom and Dad? Especially with the school holidays during Ramadan. This moment is actually a gift of time for us to build a deeper bond with our little ones at home.

However, we understand that there is often a hint of concern that creeps into the hearts of amazing families:

“Oh no, if school is closed, will our little one just lie around all day, engrossed in their gadgets, or even get cranky because they don’t know what to do?”

It’s perfectly natural for parents to feel this way. Keeping children motivated to stay productive while fasting does require some special tricks. So, how about trying something different this year?

Let’s discuss why turning the habit of “lying around” into a meaningful activity like learning to code could be the best choice for filling children’s time productively during Ramadan.

Beware of the “Lazing Around” Trap and Screen Addiction During Ramadan

Ramadan should be a time full of energy and worship, but abundant free time often traps children in an unhealthy comfort zone. Instead of exploring new things or helping with preparations for breaking the fast, many children choose to spend hours staring at their screens.

Did you know? Data shows a rather surprising fact: nearly 40 percent of teenagers spend 3 to 6 hours a day in front of a screen. This peaks in the afternoon, a time we commonly refer to as “ngabuburit,” when hunger and thirst begin to set in, and gadgets are often considered the most practical “cure for boredom.”

However, if this habit is allowed to continue without supervision, there are several “silent alarms” that we need to be aware of together:

Loss of cheerfulness

Spending too much time in the unfiltered virtual world often makes children feel tired or even gloomy. Their emotional balance seems to be completely absorbed by digital screens.

Moving away from the warmth of togetherness

Children who are too absorbed in their own world tend to become more withdrawn. Moments of eating sahur or breaking the fast together, which should be filled with warm conversation, can turn into a quiet atmosphere because their attention is divided between the screen.

Creativity that is “asleep”

Youth is a golden time to discover talents. It is unfortunate if the time that should be used to build something, draw, or try new hobbies is instead spent passively watching other people's content.

This year's Ramadan is an opportunity for us as a great family to encourage our children to be a little more active and prove that the world outside the screen is much more colorful.

Turning the “Gadget Dilemma” into a Proud Achievement

In this day and age, it seems almost impossible to completely forbid your little ones from touching gadgets, right? Instead of making them the “enemy” at home, parents can guide their nimble fingers to become creators, not just spectators.

Introducing the world of coding can be a smart way to fill their free time, especially while waiting for the Maghrib call to prayer. Why is this activity so special? Let's take a look at the secret:

1. Sharpening logic in a fun way

Learning coding is actually learning how to tell stories to computers. Here, children will be trained to break down big problems into small, logical steps. Without realizing it, your little one is building a foundation of critical thinking that will be very useful for their future.

2. From viewer to creator

We certainly want our children's screen time to be more meaningful. Through this activity, children will no longer just watch other people's videos, but will start designing their own simple games or applications. Isn't it much cooler when they have their first digital work at an early age?

3. Fostering self-confidence

“Dad, Mom, look! I managed to make the robot walk!”

Imagine the sparkle of pride in your child's eyes as they show off their work right at iftar. Successfully completing a digital challenge will instill a strong sense of confidence that they are capable of creating something extraordinary.

4. The perfect and energetic “ngabuburit” time

We understand that during fasting, your little ones need to maintain their stamina. The program designed by Codero is very understanding; it only lasts one hour in the afternoon. Its interactive activities make the waiting time for breaking the fast feel like it passes quickly without making them feel tired.

Turn Waiting Time into Creative Time with Codero

This Ramadan 2026, Codero presents a special program designed specifically to fill your little one's afternoons with different adventures. In just one hour, children will be invited to build logic, play with the world of robots, and learn about smart technology through exciting and child-friendly activities.

Why is Codero's Ramadan program so special?

• Perfect timing: Activities only last one hour, right before breaking the fast. Children remain cheerful and won't feel tired even though they are fasting.
