I would use Elm. The language itself is very high level, but designed to be as simple as possible. I think that's ideal for a child still far from the job market, who might never need to learn how to do all that bit-twiddling that programmers don't even realise they are doing most of the time. https://elm-lang.org/ https://elm-lang.org/ But you'd have to do some work to assemble resources and learn how it works yourself. Examples of the kind of stuff you can start with at http://outreach.mcmaster.ca/showcase.html http://outreach.mcmaster.ca/showcase.html. Anything you make can be published to the web.
