LIMB OF A LIVING CREATURE

A person is obligated to fulfill these commandments from the time that he is intelligent enough to do so. If he is not intelligent enough, he does not have to fulfill the commandments. When is a person intelligent enough? (Is it age or a matter of intellectual maturity [Rainbam] ). However, it appears that a person should teach minors that they may know how to fulfill the commandments when they are old enough to do so, but this is not a complete obligation. For example, we find a prohibition against a Jew giving a forbidden food to a minor or to another Jew, but we do not find such a prohibition for a Noachide. However, as a result of the commandment to honor God, one can deduce that their will be a type of obligation to educate minors in the fulfillment of mitzvot just as one should attempt to influence others to fulfill the mitzvot."
