Kaertok wasn't so sure about Atuaserk. Not all children were as smart as his other two seemed to be. He did know that the other two would also be hunting and fighting, perhaps before they were grown. They were smart and capable now, and he had no doubt they would be ahead of the game, just as he and his siblings had been at that age.
