Answer 7

Let your children play! lolol just kidding! In my opinion, you should start with something simple ... When it is ready (maybe 13 years old, it depends), you should try to learn some LISP language (for example, PLT Scheme) .. If it could to understand that it will be much easier to understand other general programming concepts.
