Is it necessary to physically touch them while doing so? It's difficult to do so sometimes because they get unruly or restless.

Can we follow this practice?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"There’s no need to repeat your entire adhkār over your children. When you recite your morning and evening adhkār, you can include duʿāʾ for your children in your own litanies.
