Teaching Children anything is fine in a controlled environment, I taught my youngest Daughter how to play Black-jack before she went to Nursery Classes. Not! so she could beat the other kids in the playground, but it helped her to learn how to Count, the cards were colourful, and she was able to add the shapes together (Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades) and she became good at counting.
At Christmas she was always allowed a Snowball drink ( Advocaat, and Lemonade) so she didn't feel excluded from what all the Adults around her were doing, and Today she is a responsible drinker because it was never a Taboo subject.
When Children are told you cannot do this or that, because you are too young, makes it all that more appealing and adventurous, So you have to teach children by example.
Now when it comes to playing Poker, I have nothing against teaching them how to play, but it is Important to explain why they will not be allowed to play, by law. the same reason here in the U.K. they are not allowed to drink alcohol until they are 18. (21 in the States) the Government decides at what age they become a responsible Adult and can decide for themselves.
The strange thing is, here in the U.K.is they are not allowed to Vote, Drink or Gamble until they are 18, but they can Marry and have kids of their own at 16.
The Law of Mum and Dad is very different from the Law of the Land.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
