Patrick I do agree in principal but I have a cousin who always demanded her little darlings be the ones to pray at family functions, they were "cute" prayers and since the adults chuckled they worked their prayers to the point of silliness for attention. It led to a conflict between my cousin and I that is only now healing...............about two years later. Let the kids pray if you will, please teach them it is serious teach them how to pray.
