This whole thread is based on a floored assumption. That assumption being that all parents who hold a firearms license are rational and sensible human beings, and that all children can reason, and act on instructions.
Because of this, there can be no "standard" for when and how children are introduced to firearms. Clearly, for some the answer should be never.
Sadly, the dilemma is that those who shouldn't be teaching their kids this stuff, or parents who's kids just aren't ready for it, probably lack the self awareness to know not to.
That's why I'm so cautious about generalized advice on this topic.
