If we delve into the child's soul and make a bona fide effort to trace the process we shall discover that as a rule the child does not part from the path of the Almighty all at once. He does not all of a sudden cease to observe the Shabbat, nor does he make a quick run from the Beit Hamidrash to the pubs. Our sages discern (Gemara Shabbat 105) the "evil inclination's" technique - at first a person commits a small offence, then he is gradually enticed to commit greater and greater offences, until he finds himself spiraling down in a bottomless pit.
