Is it permissible for children to pray in the front rows, or is it preferable to move them to the back? And does this affect their psyche and their acceptance of prayer, especially since moving them to the back rows hurts their feelings?

Among the incentives for maintaining prayer is accustoming children to performing it in congregation at the mosque. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to come to the mosque carrying Hasan or Husayn, and he might prolong his prayer because they climbed onto his back. Children had a known place in the mosque. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that adult, sensible individuals stand behind him in the first row, so they could understand his prayer, succeed him in imamate, or alert him if he made a mistake. He said: "Let those who are mature and discerning among you be close to me, then those who are next to them, then those who are next to them." Therefore, what some imams or worshippers do by pushing boys away from the first row and away from the imam entirely contradicts their rights, may lead to the child's negligence in performing prayers, and also contradicts the Sunnah. There is no objection for boys who are seven years old or older to stand behind the imam like adults, and to stand to his right if there is only one of them. The command for boys to delay from the front row should be done in a manner that does not hurt their feelings or cause them to shy away from attending congregations.
