Responsa על נזיר 56:4
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A court is not enjoined to restrain a child from eating forbidden food (Yeb. 114a; Git. 55a; Shabb. 121a). Is a father obliged to restrain his child?
A. A father is enjoined to train his son in the performance of the Mitzvoth. Lack of disapproval on the part of the father means approval. Therefore, a father must restrain his child from eating forbidden food, if eaten in his presence. This law, however, applies to the father, but not to the mother.
SOURCES: Cr. 200; Am I, 88.
