9 in our case. Kids do start earlier but it seemed like about the right age for a full size electric (Squier Mustang).

8-9 for my daughter. She can just about handle a Squier Mini JM now, and she gets lessons at school on a 3/4-size classical.
She had a small 3-string kid’s guitar before that, but it wasn’t much use.

Parents with guitar-playing kids, when did they start? Got a 5yr old that's already a big Heart & Pat Benatar fan, but I'd say a bit too young for a guitar. She's currently got some keyboards that she uses (as well as some of my synths) but obviously they're a bit easier in terms of pick-up-and-playability.
Naturally it'll differ between kids, but just wanted to see if anyone here had any experience. I'm guessing around 7-10 probably makes most sense so likely not much point in picking one up now.
