My 4.5-year-old daughter is asking why Perumal does not have parents and how can He live alone. Can we bring Him to our house?

As Perumal creates everyone, He does not have parents. But during His incarnations of Rama, Krishna, He appears to a father and mother.
He is never alone; He is always with us as an Antaryami so He need not be specifically brought to one’s home. This can be explained appropriately to a child.
Notes:
If we desire to be parents to Emperuman, we shall bring a Krishna doll to our house and be like Yasodha or like a brother or friend to Krishna. It is the thought that matters in being devoted to Krishna like a friend. He plays the role of what a devotee desires.
