Do you make decisions for your children until they reach the age of reason?

Is God's grace age-based?

”Moreover, belief in divine Scripture declares to us that among all—whether infants or those who are older—there is the same equality of the divine gift...Otherwise, it would seem that the very grace which is given to the baptized is given either more, or less, depending on the age of the receivers. However, the Holy Spirit is not given with measure...For although the infant is still fresh from its birth, yet it is not such that anyone should shudder at kissing it in giving grace and in making peace.” (Cyprian), 250 AD 5.354

Is the Great Commission of Matthew 28 age-segmented?

He came to save ALL persons by means of Himself—ALL, I say, who through Him are born again to God—infants, children, boys, youth, and old men.” (Irenaeus), 180 AD, 1.391
