My daughter begs to help with refinishing, but my husband won't allow it

She keeps asking to join me while I work on an old desk. I feel it's a good chance to show her a useful craft. He says the sanding dust and finish fumes are too risky for a kid. We really disagree on this. How do you all deal with family wanting to learn the trade?

My uncle tried to teach me wood staining when I was 14. He didn't think about ventilation, and I ended up with a headache for two days. Now I always crack a window and use a mask, even for small jobs. Kids can learn, but you gotta be smart about the setup, lol.
