For those with kids:

Do you have any recommendations for apps, tools, guides, ideas… to help 6-10 yo with attention problems get started with programming? 

Ideally, something visually engaging and allowing to create some visual apps/games quick to capture attention right from the start

My daughter (8) uses Purple Mash in school. She now works with patterns, but apparently there's also programming in it.

This was some years back, but this product was a hit with our boy, who was 6 at the time.

That’s cool! After a few weeks, did it start to feel limited or the possibilities still seem endless?

Yep, I have that in mind, but I wonder if there is anything else too I can try.

Thanks, I’d really appreciate it if you discover what ur kids use!

And thanks for sharing it on /parenting as well! I’d been looking for a channel like that to cast it but hadn’t had much luck hehe.

Not sure. The kids have something at school. Will ask. I think my son works with scratch. My 8 y/o daughter has several things they use. Some are mostly geared towards creativity though, and maybe not directly programming.
But great question to follow.
