I agree completely with the OP, I start my now 14 year old shooting when he was 8 and my now 10 year old when he was 6.
Both started on a suppressed 22lr, once they were comfortable shooting that, I moved them up to a suppressed 5.56 which they took longer to get comfortable with. The recoil for my younger son made him nervous. So we had him go back to the 22. Now they both shoot a suppressed 25 Creedmoor and spot shots.
The brakes with how loud they are and the flash was a huge factor for my boys and some people I have helped learn to shoot. They developed a flick and a fear of them.
I absolutely agree with the OP and a lot of the other posts where suppressors definitely mitigate that noise and recoil and make it a less stressful learning experience for kids and adults!
