I don't agree that it's a machlokes.  Children are clearly born with a 
strong will, a YhR unmoderated by a YT, but they are also incapable of 
sin. The YT comes when the child needs it, when he becomes capable of sin.

I don't think anyone disputes the characterisation of the learning of 
tinokos shel beis rabban as "hevel she'ein bo chet", or as "Mipi olelim 
veyonkim yisadta oz", etc.
