My daughter is 15 months old, and hasn't uttered a convincing word of
English yet, let along Lojban!

My son is 3 years old.  I don't think I've ever had enough spoken
fluency in Lojban to make a viable attempt at teaching it to him.  Also,
I'm afraid I haven't the conviction to risk turning him into the subject
of a "social experiment" if it all goes horribly wrong in some way!  I
think it's fine for an adult to have unusual interests and to have to
defend that fact amongst his/her peer group, but I don't know whether
it's such a good idea to inflict unusual interests and capabilities on a
pre-schooler who hasn't got any say in the matter (bullying etc being
what it is.)
