Introducing kids to fishing is fine, but if they are meant to be fishermen they will be out there on their own trying it already no matter how bad they are at it. If it is in their blood they have no choice. I'm pretty sure it was like that for many of us.
I've got a kid like that across the street. Met him down the beach the other night coming on when I was walking off (@930pm). He was in street clothes using a boat sized spinning rod with a single plug, a small donny I had given him. Saw his father the next day. Said he had come home soaking wet. Turns out an hour and a mile of rock after I met him he hooked a 34" bass that took him around an outside rock. Alone on a dark night in early May he went in after the fish and swam around the rock to get the fish and the lure back. He can't help himself, he was born to fish.
