I can tell you as a dad, it frightens me that the future is coming so fast I cant even see 1 year ahead.
I teach my daughter things from small circuits to assembler, c, python, sql but also basic prompt engineering, how next word predictors work, how surveillance works or how privacy is infringed, how do we pay for the "free" apps, or how to make an idea into something real, also things about how to type fast (at the moment she types with 80wpm) and how to not be afraid of computers and how to just play with them.
Of course, it might turn out that I have wasted her time, but we spend time together, and during this time I also teach her how to learn things.
Honestly I am not sure "what" you are teaching is that important, If I knew how to bake, I would teach her the deep mastery of baking with all my heart.
