It might be difficult to introduce computer programming to your children, especially if you are unfamiliar with the complexities of code. Good mentors always help kids to resolve these complexities.

Coding activities like these are great for kids to learn and understand the coding fundamentals. It makes learning fun and also helps them to cement their knowledge.

I bought a kids block coding book for one of my kids and have sat through some of it with him. We are both learning together! We also got the Tobbie II robot and have run a few different codes through it! Thanks for vid.

I really appreciate you sharing this "Thinking Framework" for Kids. I have a 9 year old nephew plays a lot of Roblox and I was looking for a way to introduce him to Programming. I think I'm going to adopt this framework and see first if he's even interested. Thank you!
