Absolutely right!
Since you are reading posts on the HIVE network I know you are aware of Crypto, too, so I would definitely add that by being aware of Crypto at a young age one can have decaaded ahead of one in which to reap the possibly slow initially but ever-growing benefits of the crypto-aware, starting with such simple things as using tools such as HIVE for your blogging and social-media presences and activities, and choosing #Play-to-Earn games for your gaming if you happen to get into gaming.
Start your children into it early: even before their manual dexterity is developed enough to write well with pencil pen or crayon, they can type on a keyboard, since that focuses on picking the letters they want rather than upon the sometimes initially difficult task of actually drawing those letters letter by letter; so a text-mode game such as a #MUD is great for young ones just learning to read and not yet very accomplished at physically drawing the individual letters of words; and it makes sure they learn to spell correctly too in order for the commands they type to work as they intend! Plus since most #MUD clients have "macros" and "triggers" it provides at springboard into problem-solving and planning and even, ultimately, programming, as they learn how to simplify their common tasks within the #MUD.
Pick "generational" games such as the #Galactic-Milieu (which, not coincidentally, includes a #MUD interface) that are designed to build dynastic (family) wealth by helping over lifetimes to accumulate and grow wealth that can start as simply as by building up characters in a #MUD before you have even developed the skill of writing letters and words with a pencil, pen or crayon, help with your college tuition by the time you reach college age, and grow throughout college, career and retirement thanks to being securely on blockchains ready to pass on through the generations of your family / dynasty. :)
