Just to help set expectations: 1.5 hours a day is a lot for a 7 year old. That's probably not much less than a full school day of actually sitting down and learning. I have taught my oldest son programming via Scratch, Python, a Raspberry Pi robot and bits of Khan Academy and Code.org. He started about 7 I think, but I've always been really careful to ensure that the interest in it is coming from him and not from me. He asks me to teach him and I do. I think with all things like this, you have to ask what the opportunity cost is. What is he not learning because he's spending the time doing this?
