Why?! Most particularly with respect to Extended Color Basic. The horror! The horror! Why would you cripple your child, when doing the real thing is so much easier? Build a website. Write a game. Make your own really cool alarm clock. Make a demo. Write a voice-driven app. Steer them toward something that has relatively decent bumper-rails and ecosystems. Python. React (with typescript enabled). Or a good web framework for game development. Or, let them assemble a collection of emulator games. So many cool things they could be doing. A Pi with no less than 8GB of RAM is a marvelous adventure. (4Gb isn't really enough to run VSCode).
