I think it’s very smart of you to only start with a simple game builder and not assume this means your child is “born to be a game designer” or interested in programming. Most kids like video games and I imagine video game designer tops the list of jobs kids want to have when they grow up, right next to YouTuber. The question is whether that interest is actually a lifelong one. In my case, I applied to some degree programs for video game design, but ended up going to something else entirely. This turned out to be a very good thing, as I slowly lost interest in gaming over the next decade, as is natural for a lot of people, I think. Nowadays I still enjoy the occasional game, but would never consider making it my career. Had I assumed that my teenage interest in gaming was a deeper lifelong one, I think I’d have made some poor decisions in terms of education, jobs, etc.
