Nervous.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

Panic

I don't have any experience (I don't have children) with this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but...

I do not believe that anytime is too early to promote critical thinking and good science. You're their father and even though they're primarily staying with their mother, you do have the right to raise them according to your views as well as hers and allow the children to make their own decisions. They're young, they're ignorant, but they're not stupid. They'll surprise you at every turn with how smart they are, but don't pull any punches with them.
