Bear in mind that vs take 'it' for granted that

Hello, everyone,

In the sentence, "Bear(take) in mind that some children will need help." 'it' between 'bear, take' and 'in' is optional or essential to delete, while we see 'it' as compulsory (as a preparatory 'it') in the pattern of 'take it for granted that'.

Are the two consrructions different each other?

Would appreciate on your valuable opinions.

In my variety of English, "take in mind" and "take it in mind" are both impossible. The following are possible:

Please bear in mind that ... (no 'it')
Please keep in mind that ... (no 'it')
You can take it for granted that ... ('it' or no 'it' about equally — personally, I always include the 'it'.)

The meaning is the same for the f
