Chris Sells writes about his son's first computer program:
Wonderful things happen when I tell me kids to stop playing video games and to stop watching TV (I try to limit them to an hour of each/day). I mean, aweful things happen at first -- you'd think I stuck a sharp stick in their eye. But, after the hollowing stops (and the pull the stick out), the imagination kicks in and they think of stuff to do. Today (they were home from school on MLK Day) John asked if he could write a program.
I'm waiting (hopefully) on this day with my oldest daughter. Of course, she is only 6, so I suppose I can give her a couple of years!
