besides; shielding anybody (not just a kid) from knowing things
because "they're too advanced" is the best way to prevent them from
learning.   of course, overwhelming him with hard things before
getting any fun would just frustrate and get him bored quickly.

my advice?  be there for help, if possible learn together.  but never,
 _never_  say "this is too hard for you, better use this toy until you
grow up"
