Re: Allowing children to seek the Holy Ghost?

I, myself, have a 7 y/o and 4 y/o. After witnessing (here and there) what I've seen in the past, nothing recently, I do not feel it necessary to coerce (sp?) my children into praying/seeking the Holy Ghost until they're really, honestly ready and full of questions with answers we can show them for their understanding; they're too young to be released from my accountability for one thing, IMO. Besides that, most smaller children I've seen get the holy ghost are the ones causing most of the trouble, whether in the home, church, or out on the streets. Not to broadbrush by any means, only from what I saw where was going to church at the time. Since being away from that atmosphere, I've seen far better results when the Spirit baptism is explained to allow the child to grow in their own experiences with life, sin, etc and realize how much more meaning being baptized later with the Holy Ghost really holds. To me, it almost comes across as if "the younger the child, the better chance of getting to Heaven before everyone else does." Just from what I've seen; others may not have that perception...
