I dunno Chuck, the rifle my daughter started with and which my son began hunting with was almost 9 pounds.
Neither kid complained, and both took more than a few deer with it.
You take your kids on back pack hunts, which quite frankly isn’t the norm for most Alberta hunts, equating your somewhat differing point of view, to that which others do isn’t a good metric to compare.
Then again my kids were also heavily involved in sports, by aged 12, maybe that, allowed them to develop differently than your kids.
