 I would assume that it is okay for kids to perform magic under their parents roof in all wizarding families.   I can't see that they would be able to tell the difference between one magic and another.  Who is to say that mom wasn't casting a spell.  I remember reading something the minister said about detecting magical use.  They assumed Dobbys magic was Harrys.  So that plainly tells us that they cnnot tell who is doing it, just that it is being done.
  Also, I would assume that it is okay for a parent to teach a child some magic.  They are after all their parents and have the right to give them some basic knowledge before sending htem off green to school.  We do..  We teach our children to tie their shoes, count to ten, write their name, etc..  why is it not the assumption that it is okay for wizard parents to do the same?
