He wasn't old enough to solo an aircraft either; there's no minimum age for dual instruction. I've allowed one of my daughters to operate the controls---under ***close*** supervision of course---when she was 6 or 7. The biggest problem was that not only was she too short to see over the control panel, but too short to see over the windowsill....and she liked seeing the ground go by. So we spent a lot of time in steep left-hand turns. :-)
Then she found out how to apply positive and negative G forces....I had to take control back from her at that point....her capacity for it was higher than mine. :-)
