> If I'm interested in buffer overflows and programming than my daughter must be highly interested in it too! How likely is that?

As a father, I am just trying to teach her everything I can, sometimes its programming, sometimes its fighting, sometimes its meditating.

Some of it will be of value, some of it wont.

The odds are always stacked. Such is life.

Not all paths have the odds stacked against you. Put yourself in her shoes. What does she like? What are her interests? What is she good at? Don't be so blinded by love that you lose all rationality.

Anyway... from your reply I can sort of see that it looks like I'm generally right, despite how much the other replier doesn't want to believe it.

Really? I have no allegiance to being right. If I am please elaborate, is your daughter very interested?

Yes, why would I teach her something she is not interested in?

The answer to this question is startlingly obvious yet for some strange reason in this specific situation you can't see it. Why?

The majority of kids aren't interested in anything that schools have teach them. To them it is a chore to appease parents and to avoid consequence. If interest develops at all it usually comes much later.

But you see you should already know what I'm saying. Like I said it's quite obvious. The anomaly here is why your child is at all interested in buffer overflows. I would be interested in more elaboration on why your daughter is different from the norm.
