4 years old? Are you looking for babysitting? Man, be serious, your son can't even walk correctly, he can't learn aikido, he must first achieve correct physical development. Psychically he is not able to stay concentrated more than 30 second. He will fall asleep after 10 minutes of training without playing games.

In short, wait at least 3-4 more years.
Szcezepan:

I only allow children to begin training when they are entering into elementary school (5-6 y/o). Some people do teach 3-4 year olds. Some of those programs are physical entertainment for the children, while other programs do work on building block basics for budo development.

I assume that you do not have any post-graduate training in child development, based upon your statements. I can also assume that you are not looking for any diplomatic postings....... Lighten up and allow this father the opportunity to discover if there is anything useful for his child to learn from available classes out there.
