Scenario

When religious restrictions make children feel different from peers

My eight-year-old said the other kids at school think she's weird for not celebrating Halloween because of our religious beliefs and she asked if we can just be normal.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The child experiences the social cost of religious distinctiveness and questions the value of standing apart.
