Hi,

I am relatively new here, so not sure if it's a repeated question.

As my son is getting older, I'd love to get him more exposure with systems and think more in terms of feedbacks. In short, beyond just the first-order effect. So my questions are,

1) How young can kids start picking up such concepts?

2) Where can one begin?

I'd love to hear anyone with actual experiences in introducing these ideas to his/her own children/students. Many thanks.

ciao,
Charles
