My nine year old likes to find stuff for me. He knows where to find Jup, Saturn, Orions Neb. etc so I use him as a remote controlled go-to.
The 7 yr old is a different matter. Not much interest in the actual telescope, so I put a blanket down on the ground and get him to spot satellites and meteors.
The kids have their 60mm refractor that holds up well to knocks and sticky fingers.
