HTML is fine to lean to code by hand.

Tags can provide clear starts and ends for beginners, as well as concepts of nesting.

Folks who learned to code HTML using a wysiwyg html editor may be able to describe how it helped them learn.

Yes correct, it's a good startup but 7 years was too kid. At least 12 years is fine. Kids life are so different, joyful, curious, etc. Any kid will be come adult to learn code or do whatever work.

Programming isn't big deal any old age man can do programming. Anyone can learn programming at any age. But kids life never come back.

At least teaching standard mathamatics like bits and bytes with abacus can be acceptable. It might be helpful to improve the math skill along with their school syllabus. Math is universally standard. Math actually improves our lifestyle.

But programming is just text format that a engineer designed. A well designed IDE with voice assist can replace all kind of programming.

What if building things with computers felt like magic?

Programming as a kid or teenager wasn’t work. It’s fun. It’s a challenge. It’s a sense of accomplishment if you do something that you didn’t know how to do.

7 can seem young to me too but I also know kids these days seem different and if they are naturally into something… can’t say much.

Even kids with little to no screen time are sponges and there’s so much more to stimulate them.
