You've misunderstood me, brother. A lot of the Quran would probably be beyond the understanding of a child. But when I was talking about myself as a child, I meant all the way up to age 20 What I mean is, not go through the English meaning of every verse, but I think even young children can still be taught about the basic contents. So if someone asked say, my 9 year old nephew, he could say: it teaches about Islamic history, and Islamic laws, and about the previous Prophets peace be upon them, etc etc. But the fact remains, he can't. So I read through the English meaning of Surah Fil with him, and now he knows what that verse is about. I actually did the same thing with my 6 year old nephew. I don't think they are geniuses now Why shouldn't a child know that? The stories of the prophets (peace be on them) can be related to children, as can parts of the seerah, etc.
