Some of the fishing can be challenging, even for experienced anglers and most of the freshwater fishing is fly fishing only, which is a more technical form of fishing. However, the following may help:
Children are usually allowed to fish with a worm and bubble float, using a basic spinning rod, which is much more straightforward.
There are people who can take you out and give tuition - Stewart Yates who runs Assynt Flyshing is qualified coach and does take families out. See the 'Assynt Fly Fishing' link at the bottom of the home page and ask him.
Fishing in the sea - spinning or bait fishing - can be a good entry point for fishing. You can do that from the shore, or there are sea fishing trips (see the Sea Angling page for some contacts).
If you need tackle - starter kits etc - then chek out Mackays Hardware in Lochinver as I think they sell them.
Hope that helps, but others may want to make suggestions...
