Based on years of doing public viewing nights I've found that young children just aren't that good at getting their eye in the right position. A year or so older they 'just do it' without being shown. Perhaps you just need to wait a while.
Alternatively, have you considered an eyepatch. Just make sure you know which eye dominant they are.
I hope they (and you) have years of enjoyment from this great hobby!!

Thanks, hearing some experience like this is exactly why I asked here first!
