It's all about the exposure. These kids' parents are both into technology, and maybe one of them might be into cyber security and they have made their kids passionate about the same, from a very young age. And the best part is that they do follow an activity, which in turn acts as a reward for the work they have done the whole day. Hence their activity induces proper chemical release in their brain and this is the path to success and one day to perfection.
