My children were all intrigued by photography at early ages. However, I found that as a point of entry their experimentation was better confined to the elementary arts of framing and composition. Mostly what they wanted was for me to get out of the way and let them shoot. To that end, whatever point-and-shoot I could give them sustained their curiosity the longest. They chased the cat, explored the garden, and invaded all privacies when mostly limited to zoom and auto-everything else. Now teenagers, they use various widgets on their cell-cameras to 'edit' their images and currently have almost no interest in DSLR photography.

That would seem to be an argument in favour of bringing up your kids properly and giving them a DSLR at the age of 5!  Now they are for ever doomed to social media pics. <insert appropriate smiley here>
