Ditto.

At age 18 and 3 months my kiddo's credit score is higher than most on the board and his first cc was a points/miles cc neither secured nor cosigned. Get the kiddos on your cards as AUs early, especially with AMEX. Then be sure that they learn that with great miles earning power come the responsibility to use credit wisely.
