Belaying is a very simple task if trained properly but the recommended age to belay is 10. But weight of climber must be considered as well because you dont want the child to be rocketed to the ceiling if a man falls while climbing.

What is the difference between top belay and bottom belay in rock climbing?
If you belay from the top of the route, or from the base. Normally you would bottom belay. If for some reason you approached the climb from the top of the cliff you would do a top-belay. Also, if you are doing a really long (multi-pitch) climb, you and your partner leapfrog eachother up the cliff - each doing a length of the rope at a time. This means that every other "pitch" would be a top belay.
