You talking about having coding replace outside time.
However, if you look at where most kids spend their time, a lot of it would be in front of the TV or watching online videos or playing games.
I think the people who want kids to code, want coding time as a replacement for watching mindless videos, not as a replacement for outdoor time.
So your kid plays outside and then comes in and instead of watching another toy unboxing video, codes up a simple game they can play by themselves or with their friends.
- dashwehacct 5y agoThis is pretty accurate. As a parent, offsetting your kids use or involvement with a particular activity tends to only work if you provide them with an equally interesting alternative. Simply telling your kid to limit their use of a device only goes so far.
