Question
My 4-year old is getting good at saying Brachot before & after food, and expects me to answer Amen – but I seem to recall an halachic opinion that adults should not answer Amen to young children’s Brachot. Can you clarify?
Answer
You may say Amen to children's Brachot for Chinuch purposes.
