1.5 hours a day seems like an immense amount of time for that age, but if the kid is pushing for it, good for them both.

  Kids have a different relationship with time. As a kid who was intrinsically interested in programming, 1.5 hours was a joke and a non-starter. I didn't really feel comfortable doing any coding until I could secure 2-3 hours of time for it, and I would easily spend 8+ hours on the rare days when my parents were otherwise engaged and didn't call me away to do other things.

    At age seven? Again, if the kid is up for it then great, but I think most kids that age have a hard time committing that amount of time to any single activity.

      It's not commitment if it's voluntary play.

  My 7 years olds will spend 1.5 hours minimum playing roblox and minecraft. So... I think designing and building a game with them is a great idea!

    Fair point. I guess I wasn't much older than seven when I began my Nintendo addiction.
