Rachel wanted to sit right next to me at that age too!! I sent her to her first "scrapping kids" class when she was 7. She attended a week long scrapping camp when she was 8. It was nice for me to have someone else show her the basics (then she could see I was telling her the correct things to do) and then I was able to help her learn how to do the fun stuff

She had taken a break for about a year, but, is now really getting back into her scrapping groove. So my advice is let DD sit with you sometimes and sometimes crop after she is sleeping. I still get most of my cropping done when everyone else is asleep
