   Bucket,
   Muslims are encouraged to wear light colored cloth preferably white when they are praying.

   Arash,
   Don’t worry, childeren have fun in these occasions, although they might have more fun if they go somewhere which is more suitable for their age. But I remember when I was a kid I used to have a really good time when we went to “Emam Reza Haram”. My brother and I used to rolls our coins on the smooth floor of Haram Yard.

One typical answer to this question is “Don’t worry, children have fun in these occasions” (see). A more personal comment states, “when I was a child, I loved my religious experiences” (see). [...]
