I don't have my handbook handy, but standard policy is to interview with the bishop or counselor every six months as a youth (12-18), but these are not necessarily worthiness interviews. The only time your children would need a worthiness interview would be for the following:

- Baptism (age 8)
- Ordination to a priesthood office (males, aged 12, 14, 16)
- Temple recommend for baptisms for the dead (age 12+)
Thanks. I have no problem with a question like, "do you want to be baptized?", so long as there isn't an effort by the Bishop to influence the answer. I am a little concerned about leading or manipulative questions like I used as a missionary.
