You like Dexter's Laboratory? I liked it as a child too. There isn't much (actual) science in that show, but it makes you interested in science anyway.
I was interested in electronics a lot as a child.
My father bought a collection of books, "الموسوعة الإلكترونية" (The Electronic Encyclopedia) but I was too young to understand it anyway. I still remember the images from the first book. (It talked about Radio.) As I grew up, my interest leaned more and more towards software.
My mother never really held me back from "trying."
Glad for you. Thinking on the past, my parents supported me a little. In my case, I held myself back. I didn't want to break things in my process of learning. My father was harsh when things break, (but he's generally a nice person,) so I was being extra careful. I don't regret not doing that, but I wonder how different I'll be if I tried fixing more.
"I usually try to diagnose the problem myself and then go on to fix it. And most of the time, I do get to fix the problem."
That's me with the software side. I'm proud of that fact. Though I had a lot of family relatives ask for my help and it was overwhelming. Haha.
The thing about not getting discouraged after blowing up your fuses was inspiring.
