i think the key phrase here is USED TO BE..... granted i don't have kids of my own, but i got better than a dozen lil neices and nephews, who all take it..includingi one nephew who may NEVER be baptized, as he may never be accountable...even tho he turns 8 next year, he may never reach the mental capacity ...... why is it such a big deal? why are people offended by PERFECT souls remebering Christ... learning at an early age WHY we take the sacrament, and to be reverent...I don't know many 2 yr olds that can sit still and perfectly quiet for 5-15 min, depending on the size of your ward, but when they get to participate, they tend to do better...at least from the kids i've observed and by your logic, nither my lil bro or nephew should EVER take the sacrament, cause they may NEVER be baptized, but they are still spotless in God's eyes. As GM said..its a great opp for teaching....granted they not FULLY understand at the moment...but its a line upon line, precept upon precept type thing... you let a child grow with it, learn with it, not drop them in full tilt just after thier 8th bday....
