1587. 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Abbâs said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbâs when a man said to him: 'Did you go out (to the 'Eid prayer) with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes, and were it not for my kinship (position) with him I would not have done so'" - meaning due to him being so young - "He (the Prophet ﷺ) went to the mark near the house of Kathîr bin Aş-Sâlt and prayed, then delivered a Khutbah. Then he went to the women. He exhorted them and reminded them and told them to give charity. So a woman would bring her hand near her neck and take off her necklace and put it in the garment of Bilâl." (Sahîh)

Commentary
This question was put to Ibn 'Abbâs ﷺ only because he was not mature at that time. And children generally take more interest in games and sports rather than worship, at this age, although they might be participating in the acts of worship. Hence, they usually occupy the back rows behind the Imâm. But the case of Ibn 'Abbâs was entirely different.
