The "potential" was there, but it could not officially kick in (you would not be "in line next" to be chosen) unless you were 15 or so in years.
I know they showed that 10-12 year old girl at her softball game, and you were just waiting for her to hit one out of the park, but they didn't actually show her doing it.
My thought is that every potential in the world will suddenly gain her superpowers around age 15, but that prior to that she'd remain (relatively) normal.
I'm glad they showed some potentials of other ages. It's bugged me all season that they allegedly were bringing all the potentials to Sunnydale and they were all teen-agers. I thought "and where are their replacements? Then I thought, maybe all the babies and children were the first to be killed off.
Urgle, it doesn't always make sense when you think about it too much.
