Congratulations, Gryphon!

I would guess--if I may be allowed to brazenly pigeonhole childhood--that the most important things learned by children are discoveries. Maybe this applies to children of all ages.

My advice would be to let him ask you, to some degree. Whet his appetite with a sample, and welcome any approach with helpful information, but do not conveyor belt him into programming. Be supportive of his desires to be a policeman, a travel agent, a dreamer, and an explorer.
