Do you teach your children self defense?

Hi, I'm wondering if you all teach your children self defense, and if so at what age? And what specifically do you teach them?

Also, what would be a good place for me to start? I carry pepper gel and an alarm but there are places we go where I can't take those in, like the water park. I'm in a rural area and the only place we have around here is karate or something, there's nowhere that is specifically self defense, so videos might be best.
