The answer

A third prostration is not legislated, and intentionally performing it invalidates the prayer. The worshipper should avoid whatever distracts him from his prayer, such as a child, because prayer is an obligation on the adult, and the child is not obligated by it, even if he is commanded to perform it at seven years of age.
