Give them root access and let them have at it!! Remember, it's a learning experience. Actually I have done this with my kids and I had then go on a tour with someone that knows that manufacturing facility, and then had them spend time in order entry, and the some time in the distribution center. They also had some time in the IS department but by showing them the whole facility they can see that what you do effects everything. They can only sit and watch you type for so long. Oh yea, I also let them spend some time with the PC techs and they got to "fix" some PC's.

Our office is doing 'Take your child to work' day and the plan is for an older child to shadow me for a little while as we do some simple Oracle dba or development work.

I'd really like to make this meaningful by having the child do a task that's simpler (than optimizing all our procedures) but realistic (instead of being relegated to the lunchroom to watch tv) with me for an hour or so.

Has anyone ever done this? I'd appreciate any lessons learned or suggestions.

Thanks!

Barbara
