TEACH YOUR CHILD CODING THROUGH EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES
Coding can often seem like a nebulous subject that lives in a corner, far from the rest. I'm thinking of the elephant graveyard in Lion King, you know, "everything the light touches" and all that. Well, the light doesn't seem to touch the coding. It's generally avoided by parents until they cave and buy an app or a robot for their kid thinking that's the only way they can learn.

I'm prepared to laugh in the face of danger. You don't have to be stuck choosing between a video game or a robot. Opportunities to teach coding can pop up in every area of life... and I'm not just talking to those who already know how to code themselves. Programming is just a language for expressing concepts we all are familiar with.
