My son got his first deck, a majors-ony called the Caring Psychic Family (gifted from Umbrae) when he was 4 years old. He's shown some interest in the cards when I'm reading for someone, but little initiative to take it up on his own as of yet.
Now, at the age of 6, I gave him my Hanson Roberts deck for him to keep, which he keeps but doesn't use. He's often fascinated with crystals and from the age of 2 he has been collecting those of his own accord, even saving allowance from the age of 4 to start buying his own crystals (maybe a crystal child?)
I obviously support the idea of children using Tarot when they're guided to do so in a safe, and rational, environment. There are some kid friendly decks, like the Fairy Tale one (first to come to mind) as well.
When reading your post, my thought was maybe your son came into your life to be a Teacher to you, to introduce you to metaphysical ideas you might not have "made time" for elsewhere in your life if not for his situations which prompted your own investigations.
Wishing you both a path filled with inspiration and light!
