Kids And Magic, How old is too young? Options

I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in so if it gets moved, so be it!

My 11 year old daughter has expressed an interest in learning Tarot. I have told her that I would teach her when se was older. She askes me all the time and I have been putting her off for at least 6 months or more. My question is how young do you thing is too young to introduce a child to Magick? I am really interested in how other people view this. Thanks in advance.

When i was a child my mother practiced magick regularly. In my opinion at the time though, her magick was "childs play" in comparison to mine. I could make anything appear and dissapear, and i could kill people and bring them back to life. I am yet to meet any adults who can still do these things. I could fly and move mountains, and i saw the flame of eternity in everything, especially in nature. Animals, birds, rivers and rocks spoke to me of secrets in a language that no crowley or regardie or fortune or bardon or any other wisened adept can hear or understand.

I work with children and am taught new methods by them daily. When i am a parent it will be my job to allow my childrens magick to be revealed to me, and to remind them of it when they forget. I might offer them advice on ethics and morals; the dos and do nots of what to achieve with magick, but as far as how to "do" magick, that is something i will leave it up to my children to tell me. I agree wholeheartedly with pilgrim child about avoiding theory and categorisations with children. The magick in watching a flower blossom, or a child grow is not one i am adept enough to harness. I hope for my children that they choose not to embrace the love of power, but in fact the power of love!
