Does this stop once he leaves home?
No, it should continue, if he cannot come or we cannot go, then we ask them to wear new dress and go to a temple and seek the blessings. Daughter has special functions, in fact, there are more for woman. Festivals are meant to keep us lively, that is why, we have so many, almost more than one every month.
Okay that is good to know. Being kept lively is what everyone should be, so that is a great idea and glad to hear your daughter has special functions too!
