I started teaching him last year, but I stopped for a long time. His father rescheduled the classes to Saturdays, and it is clashing with my other activities. Also, teaching kids is stressful and boring, so I wanted to stop. However, we attend the same church and I just feel this obligation that I should not disappoint them. I told the father I will start teaching him again on the first Saturday of April, so I had to go today. He has not been coding for a while, but he still remembers some things.
The session was boring for me but cool for the boy. The parents were also happy that I finally showed up, and I told them I will keep coming because we attend the same church and I don’t want to disappoint them. I spent 1hr with him and he still remembers a lot of things, but the kid thing is still there. I downloaded Scratch for him today. They do scratch in their school but I think HTML and CSS will serve more in building something real than scratch and if he can learn HTML this early, it will play well for him when he picks up JavaScript or Python in the future.
I saw a post where a 7-year-old built a complete application, so another 7 can start now.

That is so cool man, I'm jealous.... 😫 I'm a dev myself and I wanted to teach my son programming but sadly for me he can't or couldn't, he has a mild dyslexia but still I love him no matter what he does it's just as a father we couldn't be more happier if our sons wanted to follow our footsteps right? 😊
Yeah, you are right. But miracles happen and he can grow to be better and pretty smart.
I just hope he would grow up into a much better man than I am. Anyways good job teaching your kid programming. You got quite the genius there brother, hope he grows up better than his dad 😁
Wow, this is really inspiring. A real solid way of instilling value in any kid and helping him/her develop critical thinking capabilities. I believe every kid needs something like this and you helping him out at this stage speaks really highly of you. Really nice, thank you.
Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words.
That sounds interesting. I'm glad the boy sees passion and willingness to learn despite the lack of time.
How about @javalord son? Are you still mentoring him?
Time is the issue bro. I have many things to manage and going to Pegi won't be easy for now.
Oh yeah, I understand bro.
Yay! 🤗
