I don't have kids but I don't see any difference in how you can teach yourself now from in previous years. I was just given a BASIC manual around 1977 and started writing software, been doing it ever since. I would have loved an FPGA dev board as a child, plugging TTL chips into a solderless breadboard was fun but there is a limit to the size of circuit that you can build.
