Just a thought...
What if the child asks the parent?

I used to agree whole heartedly with you until my own child taught me lol asked to go up when she was about 18 months (she is massive show off), so I sent her up but she froze blew a raspberry and said Amen.

Now she asks me to come with her and help, but we have discussed what she wants to say beforehand
