No, I don't see a reason to wait until they are 7 before introducing anything. Obviously they will be too young to understand much more than the bare minimums at that time, so most of it will come with time as they get older. I'd say this is how it was with my family.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
