One solution: get out of the house! :-) We were a group of tech/dev parents struggling to get our daughters and sons interested in creating things with code. At home it was never the right time… So, we started a special family-oriented time, a kind of picnic/party for coding with our kids.[1] We set aside 3h, 3h and half, on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, invite other families, gather in a friendly place (science center, cultural center, company office…) and have fun programming together and eating cakes :-) We started 3 years ago[2] and never stopped! (We have one recurring challenge: find good tools and (French) documentation to help kids that excel at Scratch or other 'kids languages' make the jump to Python or javascript. CodeCombat is not up to it, for example. That's why I personally started a generative art workshop for young kids based on Processing Python Mode, not Scratch.)
