This is a perfect illustration of why programming is easy if you have aptitude for it, at least on a small scale, but almost impossible if you're not. Clive is already a programmer; he just doesn't know any programming languages yet, and anyone can learn those.
Yep, he's already thinking things through like a programmer, practice is all he needs really. I'd get him started on learning python/ruby/javascript or whatever and see if he enjoys it.
