The same rule applies for yours nieces. And for the (female) friends of your children (If you really want to look more normal, you can buy the "pink" box.).
My 9 years old daughter has:
* Her own chemistry set
* An "X-100" microscopy (It is really of my wife.)
* A Meccano-like metalic cosnstruction set.
* A Snap Circuits Jr electronic Set.
And this year, one of her "Christmas" present is an Arduinos Sparkfun Professional Inventor's Kit, because she wants to make a robot, but she didn’t want a robot kit. (I still don’t know we will complete the robot, but the idea is to start with something simple and iterate.)
If you think that it is important to give your daughter a good scientific formation (or if you think that it is the only sensible way to raise a children), you can fight back.
