Shulchan Aruch 70:2 quotes both opinions and says it is appropriate to be strict like Rabbenu Tam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
M.B. 70:6 notes that this means one should train the child to recite shema at the proper time with all the brachot&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[Shmoneh Esrei]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Tefillah]] KeHilchata 1:12-13.

##A child can eat before Shmoneh Esrei in the morning.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;M.B. 106:5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
