A 16 year old can qualify to solo an airplane.

18 year olds can go to war and operate multi-million dollar machines.

Kids can do shit behind your back that you’ll never know about. Even in a 160 hp Honda Civic. (Should we talk about dating?)

I started my kids with .22LR firearms when they were around 5-6 year old. When they were 10 they were competently and safely handling modern center fire semiautos.

They were allowed to take the boat out at 16 but only after showing that they could handle it.

Which kid is safer, the one who was exposed to things and trained, or the one who was not given any responsibility to grow and prove themselves?

Those of you who don’t trust your kids would probably be shocked to find out what they do that you don’t know about. And their first experience with a real car will look like a Mustang leaving Cars’N Coffee.
