Worryfather was googling and found this article.

The article is about 4 internet whizz-kids who have successful developed iPhone applications, online games and server management software. 1 of them, a 10 year old boy has published numerous iPhone applications. His first application, Doodle Kids has been downloaded for more than 680,000. Another at 13, has developed 33 online games. All these kids are very impressive and their parents are very proud of them.

We have known many internet prodigies like Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress. Both are 26 only, but their applications have been used by millions of people worldwide.

What do these four teenagers have in common? - They all started to use computer at young age.

According to the 10-year-old boy's father, Ding Wen knew how to boot a PC, use mouse and run software since he was 2. He had learnt 9 programming language since he was 7. Very impressive for a young kid. Most kids at this age, still learning spoken languages, simple maths and science.

Couple of weeks ago, Worryfather published a post on most parents were not aware of what their kids doing online and some children intimidating sexual poses after exposure to online pornography. The current article definitely has a huge contrast with the previous one. Those exposed to online pornography, violence, drugs or gambling will bring the negative side of the children, while those make good use of the internet and computer will help them shine!

But what is the difference?

The parents of these kids are aware of what their kids are doing online or using the computer. They UNDERSTAND how their kids spent their time. This will help the parents to guide their interest, and advice them if they misuse it. The parents dissuaded their kids from playing too much computer games and to focus on learning.

One of the teenager's father even took back the PlayStation Portable gave to his son.

Ryan's father, Mr Lee, said: 'Too many kids today just consume. In this case, we instil in him a sense of wanting to be part of the creative process, to be more involved in production and creation,' he said.
He added that he dissuaded his son from just spending his time playing computer games.
'I even made his brother return a PlayStation Portable he received as a gift,' joked Mr Lee, referring to Sony's hand-held game console.

    Not everyone will become genius, but it is definitely on the parents' hand what they want to their kids to be. I am not asking you to immediately remove your kids' Facebook account or to ban them from playing computer games. No, doing this will be even worse! What I am suggesting is to understand them, guide them and communicate with them. This will help to bring the best out of them, for their own good.
