I tried everything with my (now 13yrs) daughter. Fun online courses designed to help kids learn how to program, micro:bit, building games in python, you name it. She was ok, she did some things with it, but she never had it in her like I did her age, when I was willing to learn assembly and spend nights to make a stupid hack work. It turns out programming computers is no more interesting to most of them than learning how to repair a car. They have programming courses in school. I guess she will learn the basics, just like she'll learn to drive (ok, let's not get into this).
My advise is just to limit screen time. They'll say they are bored, it's ok. Being bored is important. They'll find creative things to do. And if they are really into building things on a computer, despite the limitations, you'll see it, don't worry.
She draws, she signs, she plays the viola, she's good at sports. She won't bee the computer geek I hoped she would, but maybe it's better. 3 replies
