A couple of thought on that age shooting.
1. Teach them the 4 cardinal rules and require them to recite them to you prior to shooting.
3. If shooting indoors, have them wear ear plugs and muffs. They don't need it for the .22, but for other shooters.
4. Closely pay attention to others around you. If the exhibit any unsafe signs get your kid out.
5. When they are shooting, stand behind them and extend your arms out and place your hands on either side of their elbows. This prevents them from swinging in any direction. If they get a hot piece of brass and do "the" dance, you can take control of the weapon.
6. Praise em.
++++ on the Praise em, for following the rules as well as their shooting
