Here's a reply that won't help you. 1 year old is quite early to really push her in any direction, but when she's around 2, you could introduce building blocks (building and rebuilding as a metaphor for creation) and jigsaw puzzles (pattern recognition). I'm conflicted about this. I don't feel happy about nudging a girl or a boy to learn a skill that's professional in its nature. I still believe it's delusional to see programming as just an interest and something people need even if they're not programmers. We'll do to programming the same we did to math: people spend years being taught math but come out unable to do basic algebra, and forever scared of it. Children turn into rebellious teenagers. I wasn't a very rebellious teenager, but I remember not doing things that would actually be good for me in the long term just out of spite for some authority figures. A heavy handed approach and your attempt to nudge her into programming could well lead her away from programming. Give her a great education, be supportive of her interests and show her many different possibilities for personal growth. Do not try to build a better version of you.
