How does a child, whether of discernment or not, enter the state of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says, in another paragraph, Honorable Shaykh Salih, that she has children aged ten, seven, and three, and asks: Do we take them with us for the 'Umrah?

Answer:
Yes, take them with you for the 'Umrah. The child of discernment enters ihram for himself, and you direct him. As for the one below the age of discernment, you intend ihram on his behalf and keep him away from the prohibitions of ihram. You perform tawaf with him and sa'y with him while he is carried, and you shorten his hair or shave it. Yes.
