Computer programming and all that is quite difficult. I don't think kids are likely to get it before about 10-12. I was a very bright kid, into computers from an early age, but programming came much later. I found the ideas of computers interesting though. When my dad explained how microkernels and monolithic kernels differed to me I was fascinated.
maybe you are pushing them to do things with computers too early and you would have more success if you focused more on trying to capture their wonder.
