I didn't get a CFP until my youngest was 11 or 12 years old.
I informed everyone in my immediate family that I had a permit to carry concealed and why I carry.
If my children had been much younger, I believe I would still have done the same thing. I think that straight-forward, open discussion defuses potentially embarrassing situations. If the small child discovers by accident that Daddy has a gun under his shirt, he/she'll wonder why and it will be a big deal. However, preparing them ahead of time removes the surprise factor.
