Because of the spice ingested by their mother, Leto and Ghanima are "pre-born", meaning that, as fetuses in their mother's womb, they were awakened to consciousness and to their genetic memories; thus, they are born as fully matured human beings in the bodies of infants.
Leto faces the test his father refused to take, and embraces prescience, its visions, its attendant power, and the terrible price it will extract- to follow his vision, Leto will become a symbiote with the sandworm and rule for thousands of years, effectively immortal until humanity evolves enough to kill him.

 The Landsraad
Mother of Paul Atreides and grandmother of Leto II and Ghanima, Lady Jessica is the most important woman in Dune's lengthy history.
More significantly, she instilled the need to be Hetaira into all her descendants: into Paul Atreides, who welcomed Chani as his "companion;" into Leto II and Ghaninia, twin Hetairae to each other; and most notably and tragically into Alia, whose Hetaira nature betrayed her to the Baron Harkonnen's seductive intrapersonal companionship.
Leto 11 was comfortable with the Hetaira, Amazon, Medium, and Mother within himself, but was sure that the Terrible Mother governed all natural events; he sacrificed his subjective humanity to buy time from the objective monster Mother Nature he imagined.
