I think, whatever age they are introduced to the sport the better - to a fair point.. My 2yo is too young of course, but.... now having spent the better part of a year at home with her full time, its ridiculous on how much information she actually does soak up.. randomly, this information starts being regurgitated back to me... My point is, children absorb an incredible amount of data and store it.. You may think that you;re wasting your breath slowly telling / explaining to them the 7 basic rules, or why this is etc... they understand a shite load more than we think they do... Start young, even if reading a book is the Mountain Safety Council we all ensured we knew - it'll stick!
She likes watching daddy use the Big Green Press in the garage, though not entirely sure what it does, but I explain that this is a case, this is the powder, etc etc...
hell - the 1st day she was home, I was talking gently to her, explaining how a centrefire cartridge worked from the trigger pull to the bullet leaving the barrel.... LOL... ahh daddys soothing voice.. hee hee
