Disagree. I started programming when I was less than 4. My Dad had an Atari, and I would sit and copy the code from some books. I didn't know what I was doing, all I knew is that I wanted to play the game, since I saw my Dad do it.
He didn't force me at all, I just wanted to. So I would modify your pseudocode and add a branch for the kid's interest/aptitude.
- jacknews 8y agoI think you weren't really programming in that case, but I agree if the kids shows an interest it's worth steering them toward more advanced activities. On the other hand I think at this age it's much more important to be playing physically and socially, than to be buried in a screen.
- pc86 8y agoSorry, you were definitely not programming at 3 years old. > I didn't know what I was doing At most you were developing fine motor skills. Maybe.
