A friend reached out to me recently asking where I would suggest he go to help teach his 11 yr old daughter who wants to learn to code (He is a lawyer, so not going to be super helpful until she has to negotiate the mediocrity of corporate compliance and license requirements).
Frankly, i'm surprised how hard I'm finding this question to answer. I think part of if it is that I don't want to get it wrong, and the other half is that I love that we're talking about a young woman who wants to get into this field, so i double want to get it right!
So my ask, what would you suggest? People with first hand experience with kids here I'd love to hear from you!
This question comes up regularly. There's been a couple of threads with dozens of links and advice in the past. Even ages as young as 4 year olds. Search for 'ask hn teach child' https://hn.algolia.com/?query=ask%20hn%20teach%20child Similarly for the words son, daughter, niece.
