Teaching open source to a child literally means taking them out of the aquarium like environment, and placing them in an ocean.

My first direct contact with open source as a kid was OpenOffice. I loved writing and I remember dad talking about this free alternative to MS Word and wanted to check it out. Maybe you could figure out some digital interests your kid has and find related open source software for them to try.
