Thoughtful and clearly written. I also have a six-year-old daughter and many of the same concerns.
Even as a shameless Alan Kay fanboy, I'd managed to miss his 2007 TED talk until last night. It includes a kind of front-to-back demo of how they were using computers (and other means) to teach six-year-olds at that time, which I haven't seen in his longer talks for technical audiences.
