You can always hire a teacher that uses an interactive notebook language like Mathematica that is chock loaded with easy to use APIs for graphics sounds dictionaries graphs atlas data etc... I actually teach programming from the ground up using Mathematica -- send the email in my profile a message if you're interested in having your son try a few lessons. Inspiration is really key for young kids and I do provide that. I also have a few autistic/asperger spectrum students so thats a plus. Gotta know how to communicate best - I'm sure you know as a father that unless you gain their interest, certain pursuits are a hard sell. Thats why languages that have a lot of ways to do things and are in interactive notebooks, ie. Sage Jupyter Mathematica -- they make it much easier to give a child the vision and desire of things they can do if they learn more.
