Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is recommended to train children to perform obligatory prayers and voluntary acts of worship, and to fulfill them. In fact, all forms of worship are valid for them. If they reach the age of obligation during the time of prayer and have prayed, it is sufficient.
