This comment is exceptional. Well put. I'm baffled by the lack of replies. It's probably because you made such a good case, that there's nothing to add.

I've played poker and Roulette and Monopoly a lot when I was a kid. Didn't learn that much because no one really knew how to play. Getting piano lessons has been life-changing and I still play to this day.

Let's see, how do we attract some comments here...

People who think that teaching kids serious poker are parents who don't understand the needs of their children, are not in touch with the reality in which their kids live and are more concerned about being great parents than nurturing a young life.

Bold statements? I sure hope so. If the above comment left you unfazed, then read this again: "Raising kids is not an optimisation problem." There's a lot more to life as a young/early parent. Stop obsessing over these silly things and go and spend an hour with your kids, ask them what do to and do it with them in a childish way. They know what they want much better than you do.
