On my last flight I let my little four-year-old think she was flying
the airplane. "Left turn! Yay!" "Right Turn! Yay!"

My son started flying the plane about age 4, too.

The only danger is that flying can become so commonplace, they forget how
special it is. Both of my kids have gone through period where they were
jaded about flying, simply because we do it so much.

Keep increasing their participation on each flight to where by the time
they're 15 they're doing most everything.
