So where ARE you going to draw the line, boys & girls?

12 year-old, or younger, sat on mum/dad's lap 'driving' a 40-tonne artic/bus?

Or the 12.30 London to Glasgow non-stop train?

How about the space shuttle?

As an ADULT, you are examined, trained and tested repeatedly because you
have demonstrated the ability to cope from the time you said, 'I'd like to be
a ...... (whatever your job interest is)', until retirement.

Take youngsters to work, subject management agreement, show them what you do. It's what fires their interest, keeps them keen.

But also show them the adult world of responsibilities, don't let them grow up too fast, too soon.

To do so is irresponsible and you are failing them.
