I was able to get back in the hobby when my first child was 5 years
old. I convinced my wife it would be a great learning experience!  So I
started small with a 2 1/2 gallon and also set up a tank at his
kindergarten class.  That worked fantastically. It was then a 10 gal, a
50 gal and then a 20 gal long.
She complains once in a while but not as much as about MY dog ;)
