G-d agreed and gave the Torah.
Therefore it is appropriate, on the anniversary of the giving of the Torah, that they, the Jewish children including infants, should join us and also be present in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot, to hear the reading of the Ten Commandments.
Before the Torah reading, it is proper to explain to the children how important receiving the Torah is. This will allow them to receive the Torah in a full and complete manner. Similarly, adults should prepare to receive the Torah by increasing their Torah study.
Before we received the Torah at Mount Sinai, we told G-d: "We will do and we will listen," making a commitment to observe the Torah, before we even knew what G-d was commanding us. This practice is the way we should train our children and ourselves to approach the Torah. The first thing is actual deed. Practicing them as an integral part of every dimension of our existence.
Whether or not the children understand the reading, they will realize that it is special and that he did establish a bond with the Torah.
Wishing you all to receive the Torah with joy and inner inspiration!
May we celebrate Shavuot in Yerushalayim with Moshiach Now!
P.S. The festival of Shavuot is an auspicious time Above. It is an opportune time in improving ourselves without interference by the accusing Satan - just like the time of Shofar-sounding on Rosh Hashana and the holy day of the Fast of Yom Kippur.
