Try to explain programs as a to do list for computers. This might be hard since her fist exposure to computers is HTML/CSS. kind of sad actually. How did that happen? Just curious...

Maybe show her that she can put dots of any colors on screen using html canvas and javascript. Show her how to draw lines. How to draw circles and color them. Show her how to move them....That should be enough to get her off from Html/Css and move to real computer programs...

May be just leave her alone..encourage her to spend less time with computers and go out and play with other kids..She is 10 year old, right?
