I am surprised that my thoughts on this topic seem completely out of left field compared to what I have read on here so far. My kids are still quite young, so this issue isn't staring me in the face yet, but for general guidance, I tend to look to myself and my own upbringing.
Like a disproportionate number of FIRE(/d) people, I am/was, a software developer. As a little kid I got a GameBoy, which I played with much enthusiasm and graduated to a SNES....PC games.... Eventually I decided to try and make websites about my favourite PC games, then people offered to pay me money to make websites for them when I was 11/12 (approx?). Formal education, a larger portfolio under my belt, and I can command my price for web dev work or business facing software in general.
This whole anecdote is to say that if parents try really hard to stifle any tech leanings their child might have as a default position because "technology is scary", then how do our kids end up following these paths that we walked? I find it safe to avoid blanket media or study declarations of the sky falling to be bogus on their face. Like anything in this life, the answer to the question is, "It depends!". If you give your kid an iPad to play Bimmi Boo and they never put it down, refuse to do anything else, well then act accordingly. But if they still like doing other things, while still having that technology leaning, I am not sure how keeping them from it purposefully isn't equivalent to holding them back. If I was kept off the PC because my Game Boy playing was deemed to be setting my life on a course for failure, I wouldn't be able to see FIRE as anything but a pipe dream.
