I have explained to my daughters programming is basically a tool-belt that helps one build something they want.. like how paint brushes are simply tools to help create a painting.

For example, I was showing my 7 year old daughter the other night how she could automate her Roblox character with a simple AppleScript in order to move it every so often so that it could gain points while avoiding timeout from being idle, all while she could go and do other things around home. She smiled pretty big.

In short, IME showing how programming helps achieve an outcome has worked best. A general interest may compliment.
