I started learning C at the age of nine because I wanted to make games and somewhere along the way I realized it was a viable career. I still love coding and computer graphics and feel very happy that I'm able to do it professionally. Right now in the room next to me my son, who is five, is playing with Nintendo's Game Builder Garage. He likes watching me work, he likes using the Game Builder with me to make his own silly games together. And he spends a lot of time goofing off and making his own silly prototypes that don't amount to anything but give him a lot of pleasure. He's also very much into Minecraft and makes some astonishing things in Creative Mode which I didn't think you could (a city on land but encased in flowing water yet dry on the inside?!). He's at an age where he loves creating and he has a surprising attention span for his age. I showed him code because he asked what it was, but he can't read yet. I've tried showing him actual game development tools since he said he wanted to learn. Despite being very smart and intensely focused that kind of exercise doesn't quite work for him, yet.
