3- Keep revisiting the virtues of Quran
Children find the Quran to be dull, boring and hard. The best way to overcome this, is to visit and keep revisiting the virtues of Quran with them, and the rewards for reciting, studying and memorizing it. There are many ahadith which highlight these. Periodically, discuss these ahadith in detail with your children. And while doing so make sure you discuss Jannah and the reward with zeal and enthusiasm so the children actually want to attain those rewards.

For example, a mother discussed the following hadith and made ‘stairs of Jannah’ for her child. Each time the child finished memorizing a Surah, a stair having the name of the respective Surah was added to his staircase of Surahs on the wall, each surah representing a step towards Paradise.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The one who memorized the Quran shall come on the Day of Judgement and (the reward for reciting the Qur’an) says: “O Lord! Decorate him.” So he is donned with a crown of nobility. Then it says: “O Lord! Give him more!” So he is donned with a suit of nobility. Then it says: “O Lord! Be pleased with him.” So He is pleased with him and says: “Recite and rise up, and be increased in reward with every Ayah.'” (Tirmidhi; Hasan)

4- Stories from the Quran
Naturally, children love to hear stories (even elders do!). There are a number of stories mentioned throughout the Quran. You can engrave the love of Quran in children by telling them these stories and mentioning to them that these are true stories coming from Allah (swt). Children will then be able to relate to the Quran.

Young children can also relate to the verses talking about the universe and the signs within it, the sun and the moon etc.
