Synergy of: Matthew 19:13-15/Mark 10:13-16/Luke 18:15-17
And they brought unto him also infants,
that he should put his hands on them,
and pray:
and the disciples rebuked them.
But when Jesus saw it,
he was much displeased,
and said unto them,
Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:
for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God
as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
And he took them up in his arms,
put his hands upon them,
and blessed them and departed thence.

Peter Adds- Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 1 Peter 1:23
"It is still true that children are the most susceptible to the teachings of the gospel; their hearts are open to divine influences, and strong to retain the lessons received.
The little children may be Christians, having an experience in accordance with their years.
They need to be educated in spiritual things, and parents should give them every advantage, that they may form characters after the similitude of the character of Christ."
