"I was thinking that I could introduce him to things like BASIC not long after he masters the art of counting to ten but I would love to hear from you guys."

I was talking with a neighbor about how my son was growing.

I started to say, "Back when he was little..."

In ten years, your son will still be a little kid, even though he leads the league in scoring, has a black belt, and can explain photosynthesis.

As he grows all he will really want is to spend time with you. Don't waste it. You're building a person not a programmer.
