Ritual washing for children

Hi,

Traditionally, washing one's hands ritually upon rising has been viewed as a matter of safety, and not only fulfillment of the Torah's instructions. Therefore, it applies even for children who are under the age of obligation in the Torah's instructions.

(Mishneh Berurah 4:10 and Ishei Yisrael 2:4)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
