Training them to stand on the pews is a way of NOT training them to respect the building where you worship I believe.
It also shows that the parent does not respect the place you worship.
After all, you don't teach your kids to stand on chairs at home to watch tv, do you?

It isn't the same as watching TV, and they know it.
And amazingly, now that they're tall enough to see, they don't stand on the pews anymore - plus, they like being closer to the front, so they can continue with less obstructed views.

"Training them to stand on the pews is a way of NOT training them to respect the building where you worship I believe. " So, RB, I am just guessing here, but I suspect that you wouldn't approve of standing the child in the pew and having her or she clap and move back and forth to the music.
I think standing the child in the per is a great idea.
