Any parents here have any success inspiring their child to code who was averse to it? I've tried scratch, tynker, roblox, etc without much luck.

- Aqua 9y agoMaybe you are expecting just too much out of your child, if you tried so many options and they still don't like it, perhaps it is not something for them. Not everyone must like coding, let your kids shape their future based on their own passion instead of forcing yours upon them.
- travbrack 9y agoI guess I gave the impression that I'm shoving it down his throat. I'm taking the approach where I'm trying to inspire by showing him different kid friendly coding tools, not forcing anything and being totally okay if he doesn't want to do it. I was just curious if anyone had any success at inspiring a child to be excited by coding who wasn't into it at first. I know there are a lot of parents out there who try to force activities on their child, and I'm not one of them.
