Thanks for sharing. We live in a modern technological age, so it can be said that computers and other electronics have become important items in life. I see that my son seems to be very interested in computers, he is curious and loves to explore. That’s why I want to let my child learn through coding to see if it is suitable for him? I find Scartch Junior to be a great fit for my son and it has a child-friendly interface as well. Thank you for this suggestion and other options for age-appropriate categories.

With growing speed of upgrading technology whatever your child learns will be absolete by the time they are eligible to work in IT industry. So i would suggest not to force your child to learn coding, if he/she is himself interested then you can start with coding languages like C or C++ to help them clear there coding concepts and improve skills from base level. Later they can learn any other programming language with ease.
I would say best age to start learning coding skills is 15+, before that it is not going to make much of a difference other than stressing and mounting pressure on your child’s mind.
