To be honest I just picked moments when the kids were bored and wanted daddy time but weren’t buzzing around the house with excess energy to burn.

It wasn’t something I specifically planned in advance for. Which meant though whole experience was less like homework for them.

As I’m sure you know, sometimes kids just want to experience the stuff their parents do. And when they’re in that kind of mood it’s a lot easier to sit that at a computer than it would be normally.

Thanks. I think I'll prepare that Dospian box, learn QBASIC myself quickly, and let him try it out gradually. At least he should get some typing and arithmetic "game" experience, even when he is too young for any programming.
