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.
