| At that kinda age I opened up google-docs, set the browser to full-screen, increased the font-size and let the child "type" He loved writing "adsdfdsfjkldf", and sometimes he'd painstakingly type his own name. Later I implemented the classic guessing-game "I'm thinking of a number", "that was too high", "that was too low", and we talked about choosing the number in the middle: https://github.com/skx/gobasic/blob/master/examples/55-game.... Later still things got more interesting when he could both type but also read, and I implemented a simple text-based adventure game for him to play with: https://github.com/skx/lighthouse-of-doom/ As for him using the computer? Nowdays he watches videos of minecraft stuff on youtube, but has zero interest in coding, experimenting, or learning how it works. That's fine, he's not me and he can have his own interests. That's my takeaway from doing computer-stuff at a young age: Not all children care about computer-stuff. |
