I'm very happy you want to teach him something useful. Since children usually look up to their big brothers and sisters, if you make a sincere attempt to lead or teach him, he'll probably follow. Just remember not to tell him he's stupid if he doesn't get it right away. (Lack of patience--probably one of the many reasons my little sister told me never to teach high school.) Maybe he needs to learn programming only, without any pressure to join a team.

I don't think anyone is too young to learn computer programming, but tailor the approach to his abilities. You know, "byte" size lessons and all that.
Oh because I was playing a C teaching game on linux called Laby. He looked very interested and I told him that I would teach him programming. But since he didn't understand the things I was typing in, he got scared I guess. And also his math is on the low side compared to other subjects. Well he does a lot better than me than I did in Elementary
