I AM a parent and grandparent ... I compleatly promote children starting out on a computer at around the age of 2 ... my children started playing on the computer at 2, my grandchild is fastly approaching 2 and she is starting to get on the computer... age appropriate activitys start with teaching point/click and interaction ...

Don't get me wrong, I don't set them down and say, "go at it, find whatever you can." .. as I said age appropriate material (Putt-Putt, Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, etc.), on top of that, toddler computer time must include an adult for at least the first year or 2 ...

my 11 year old knows at least as much about computers than the average adult, and is starting to wright code...
