# If one is sick and does not fast he need not make up his fast on a different day. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:35 and Biur Halacha 550</ref>
# If one is sick and does not fast he need not make up his fast on a different day. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:35, Kaf Hachaim 686:22, 550:4, Nitai Gavriel Purim 25:4. See Mishna Brurah 686:5 who writes that someone whose eye's hurt needs to make up the fast of Ester since it was never established for that day specifically. Maharsham 4:120 writes that it seems that it is only necessary to fast a makeup fast for the fast of Ester but since the Eliya Rabba 550:1 said that you need to make up all fast days we should follow that.</ref>

# One need not train his children to fast, even at the age of 12 for boys or eleven for girls. <ref> Mishna Brurah 550:5 and Beiur Halacha "hakol" Yalkut Yosef Dinei [[Chinuch]] Katan page 239 and Moadim page 530, Eliya Rabbah 550:7, Chanoch Lanaar 21:footnote 9, Halichot Shlomo Moadim 2:page 398:3. Mishna Brurah 550:5 based on Magen Avraham 550:2 and Chayei Adam 133:6 say that when children do not fast they should only eat the amount of food they need but Halichot Shlomo Moadim 2:page 398:footnote 10 says that this is not the custom. </ref> Although many boys have the custom to fast three fasts before they become bar-mitzvah, but this custom has no source. <ref> Halichot Shlomo Moadim 2:page 399:footnote 11. </ref>
