I'll bet it makes a difference
Ah....you're only a wee nipper at the game

. I've been at it for 40 years, now

. Had a pair of bino's (well, Dad's actually) at 5 and my first scope at 8. Got my first book of star charts (Field Guide to the Stars and Planets...by Donald Menzel) for my 7th birthday. However, whether you started 2 days ago or 50 years ago, it's a damn fascinating hobby we have


. I don't know how anyone couldn't be interested in it.
