Assalamu Alaikum
Today after the Kutbah, as we straightened the rows for prayers, a father in the row in front of me allowed his young son to join the ranks. I think it's important for young kids to attend the prayer and learn the correct etiquitte. However, this little boy fidgeted, moved in and out of the row and disturbed the brother to the left of his father. When we went into sajda the little boy would lie down like he was in his living room and I had to actually move his legs so that I could prostrate. After the prayer, his father who's pants were so long that he stood on them didn't apologize to the brother to his left or even discipline the boy.
I see this kind of thing often where kids see the Masjid as a playground and their fathers say absolutely nothing about their behavior. Often other brothers would have to say something to the kid.
Many brothers put up a front of peity when they come to the masjid, but you can really see how islam is practiced in the homes by the behavior of their sons.
The kids sometimes don't have wudu, but fathers put them in the rows.
Why not make your kid sit quietly and observe?
