As soon as small children are revived, which happens immediately after death, they are taken up into heaven and handed over to angels of the female sex, who in their bodily lives in the world had loved children and at the same time feared God. Since their maternal tenderness had made them love all small children, they accept them as their own, and the children there, as if by instinct, love them as if they were their mothers. They have as many children as their spiritual parental love makes them want.

The heaven where the children are is to be seen ahead in the region of the forehead, on the line or radius by which the angels look directly towards the Lord. Their heaven is placed there, because all small children are brought up under the Lord's direct guidance. They also have an influence coming from the heaven of innocence, which is the third heaven. After spending their earliest period there, they are transferred to another heaven to be taught.
