Thanks for your helpful input but contrary to your expressed sentiments it's not obvious to parents that 5 is too young. My 3 y/o is able to easily navigate the ipad and the computer, play games, find and start movies, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to meet a 6 year old who understands basic programming expressions.

>"I wouldn't be surprised to meet a 6 year old who understands basic programming expressions." I wouldn't be surprised either. I would be saddened [in the context of that being the realization of a parent's goals].

  Who said anything about the realization of a parent's goal? He's already asking me when I'll help him make an iPhone app.

    From the initial post: "I'm hoping he will be soon" A five year old can help by sitting on your lap and telling you about dinosaurs...but you will have to ignore the computer and pay attention to him. The best parenting advice I ever got was, "You will never regret taking your child fishing." Good luck.
