he just needs a mind for solving problems, if you can help him in this line or if innate, computer programming will come naturally. |

Talk to him about it first,then give him the necessary tools. There are games online that can help him gain more knowledge too. |

first thing first is his interest. you can't force someone that has no interest in it. first thing first is to buy him laptop and see how he going around with it. if he has interest in laptop, like pressing and spending time with it and solving a problem that I think is the first approach. there are so many people who don't have interest in computer. |

Get him a laptop computer. I sell programming videos and it's very easy to understand especially the html and css part. By the time he starts practicing and get to see how he can be able to instruct the computer and see the results of his codes, he will be fascinated and Boom!!! He will develop interest. He will surely thank you when he becomes an adult because Programming is the future!!! Contact me for the video tutorials 1 Like |

It is simple, Just go to youtube and find a pro teacher there. Then download the tutorials, it is free to download youtube videos. Then give it to your son to watch, learn and practice. Host a domain for him. Do not spend a dime for him to learn coding. Everthing he needs is free on youtube and even more Before he gets to 14 years, he will be are master in many languages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU6anWqZJcc Simple and shot 1 Like |

People say let him decide on his path lol . Ever noticed that the children of teacher's are usually the brainiest in class. You know why? They were steered into a system of learning. Steer him and if it doesn't work then you have confirmation. Too many free tutorials online and some already recommended 1 Like |

Someone already mentioned Scratch, I want to reiterate it. To reduce distraction, get him a Linux computer, most linus distros take very little resources so you can convert any of your old laptop and have linus installed as the operating system rather than windows. Then install Scratch for him, Scratch is very visual and very good introduction for kids to start learning programming. Mamaab: |
