I totally agree, growing up nowadays is extremely different then what it must've been like before. I'm grateful for my parents encouraging me to play outside and make friends, and once they found out that I was interested in programming, they encouraged that as well.
They always want me to try new things and see if I love it, and that's what I found with programming. They do have some rules about it, and can see what websites I visit, and generally what I do online.
I'd say to let them do what they find interesting, like my parents did with me and programming, but still encourage them to try new things. You never know, they might find more things that they love :)
