why is it that a toddler is encouraged to wear a kippa before age 3 but tzitzis is almost considered not allowed before 3?
my son begs to wear tzitzis, he finds my husbands tzitzis and hangs it around his neck and looks so proud! I would love to buy him a pair, is there anything wrong with that?
as far as having a dirty diaper goes, I heard that it makes no difference, anyways its just for chinuch, and if a child isnt trained till 4 lets say, he shouldnt wear tzitzis?! Question Rolling Eyes
I think people just use the "you'll get tzitzis when you're trained bribe"as an incentive to train their boys not that it actually has a reason.
if I'm wrong please tell me BUT PLEASE PROVIDE A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE!

The Tallith Katan
by Rabby Aryeh Kaplan Z"L
In proclaiming the commandment of Tzitzit,
Quote:
Through the Tallith Katan, the Mitzvah of Tzitzit is one of the very first observances that we teach a child. In many communities, is a custom to present a child with his first Tallith Katan on his third birthday; from then on, it is constantly worn.

Hope this sort've helps!

Yael, I wrote that in another thread Very Happy (about the Frierdiker Rebbe)

where did you hear that you are not allowed to?
I know someone who does, but she is the only one I know.

I wanted to buy a pair because my Mendel loves to kiss them.
