It's like guns, in my opinion. If you teach a child how to use a gun and show them everything there is to know about them, the allure and fascination is gone. What would be the purpose of sneaking into daddy's gun cabinet if you already know everything about them and have used them under your parents' strict supervision? It worked with me and my brother. My dad took us to shooting ranges all the time and was never afraid to answer questions we had or to show us his guns as long as he was there. No secrecy. And we never once felt the need to go into his gun cabinets. Not even when friends wanted to see them. Secrecy leads to fascination. Be honest, people. It'll save on problems in the future.
