My thirteen year old Daughter accompanied me today for a holster building session for a friend of ours.
Since my friend had not fired a sub compact Kel-Tec PF9 before
I ask him if he would like to run some rounds down range.
Well he lives out in the forest so we stepped off the porch and proceeded
to severely punish a water bottle with an appropriate back stop.
Macalah being the dutiful Daughter she is, was kind enough to reload magazines
and once she was coached on range rules, sight picture, and trigger press,
she started smacking the snot out of that water bottle at about 8 yards!
The best Father's Day was seeing my little girl fire a pistol, deadly accurate, for the first time.
Now I'm in the market for a PINK Pistol. Arrrgghhh.

She'll get a lot of self-confidence from this. She's also getting a taste of both sides of the activity -- the "work" side (reloading the mags) and the fun part (shooting).
