Anyone have any experience taking small children flying for the first

Did the kids start screaming the minute the wheels left the pavement
or were they pretty calm?

I've done a number of "Young Eagles" flights. Kids are at least school age for
those. Reactions have varied -- a few do the screaming routine, as if it were a
carnival ride. I hit the pilot isolate button at that point. I've never had any
kid scream because they were scared. Usually there's silence during the roll.
Then about 300' AGL or so, somebody says "COOL!".
