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

This was some years back, but this product was a hit with our boy, who was 6 at the time. https://amzn.eu/d/28GEczr

That’s cool! After a few weeks, did it start to feel limited or the possibilities still seem endless? Thanks, 500 $degen

Thanks πŸ’™ I recall that there were more tasks in it than he ever completed, which became decently advanced for that age. Worth noting that he didn't continue to pick up real coding skills as he grew older - I tried at times but he wasn't interested. But I do think this taught him the principles.
