Question:
I know a person is not supposed to sit next to a person davening shmoneh esrei if they are within 4 Amos of the person davening. What should one do if he is davening in shul with his child who is not old enough to stand for shmoneh esrei and wants to sit down next to his father. Is it problematic for the child to do so?
Answer:
Hello,
Leave the child alone, he is not yet old enough for chinuch of davening.
Best wishes
