I would just say good luck ! No seriously, I am studying myself (yeah I am pretty young too). I am in electrical engineering and I know one thing, when I am done studying, the last thing I want is to see a computer. I want to paint, to play music, go to the movies, anything but a computer. So if you don't want him to dislike computers I would suggest you make sure he goes out, does something else, makes fun. You should let him pick the language he wants to learn, and pick his own project about what he wants the computer to do. That way, he will feel involve and maybe he will want that project done more than if you choose everything for him. "kids can be picky, let them pick!"
