Also, I am not that competition spirit kind of guy, that I would start to develop some special skill related advantages for very young child. This is more mommy and daddy related issue, than child related. I have already pet, I am not going to turn my hopefully future to be childs to be one.

OMFG, and you call me a kook?
My kid was learning as much as he wanted and we provided every assistance since the day he could sit up and watch a baby Einstein video. It was easy for him and it was fun and he has developed far in advance of the other kids his age. Never pushed him, but gave him all the learning tools and learning toys and good schools. He also has been training Brazilian jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai since age 5, learned to shoot bb guns and bow and arrow by 9, he is 13 and is proficient with a 22LR. I'd like to think that he is prepared for most problems he may encounter.
I hope he never needs to use his martial skills to defend himself, I hope he never needs to use his skills with weapons either. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have tought him these things.
The world is full of assholes and stupid people in large groups!!!!!
