Absolutely. I always suggest python since it teaches kids to always indent and make code readable. It also has very good documentation and is a simple language.

Absolutely. I always suggest python since it teaches kids to always indent and make code readable. It also has very good documentation and is a simple language. There is plenty of help out there for it as well. I initially tried js/html with the kids in my school, and although it was fun because they were making making visual things, it turned them away from the console. This is not a good thing since the console is where they have to do a lot of the work, and having an aversion to it is one of the worst things that can happen to you. I simply state this as my experience. Yours might be different.
