Start them young and they have a hobby that feeds them for life! I remember taking my nieces and nephews out in the boat their first time. I took it slow and easy for most of them, my nephew Kyle was a speed freak and always wanted faster faster LOL he went on to join the air force, flew for awhile then they moved him into linguistics because he can pick up a language super easy and mimic the accents perfectly. He wasn't the greatest pilot... to much of a screwball... he has been in AK doing translation stuff, made a few trips into Russia(he speaks it like a native)... he can't really tell us what he does as a job...
