It sounds they want something tangible. See a result.
What's your child's aim? Impress they friends "I know game design!" Because that's impossible in a few weeks, or years, with expectations like beautiful visual effects.
Android/iOS also have a pain of structured languages.
Perhaps something like 100 Javascript steps per day. I did search, and perhaps another HNer could follow, but there was link 3-4 years ago about a person that gave herself a javascript challenge per day, starting from really basic HTML/CSS, to some quite interesting creations, in the space of a few weeks/months.
Then given some grounding in JS, extend that with something Node and React-based later (but don't announce that yet? Sounds too scriptured?). With a low-level understanding, you could certainly explain problems novices encounter with things like string inspections and data types.
