I personally think focusing on discrete math is a mistake, though everybody does it. Kids know the world is continuous* — just consider Piagetian experimentation in the bath — so opportunities to think that way are just as important, and I suspect more intuitive. The downside is my kid wanted to major in pure math. * well, down to the Planck length I suppose :-)
