A letter came out from the First Presidency to all Wards and Branches a few years ago. Sacrament meeting is not a place where children should bear their testimony. Our Bishop pulls out that letter and re-reads it to us every couple of years.

Once the children develop their own personal understanding about what it all means, and do indeed develop their own testimony, that's the time it is appropriate to share with the congregation. Until then, FHE, maybe primary or Sunday School, those are fine places to help a child learn how to bear a testimony.

Ohhh....
