When I was in high school in the late 80s, I learned computer coding in my last year of high school. How things have changed! I never imagined that children who are still in preschool would learn to code, but here we are. 

If your child has expressed an interest in learning how to code, the first thing you want to do is find an age-appropriate app. Then, as they become more proficient, you can download more advanced apps. But it's best to start them off slowly and see how they do. This way, they don't get too frustrated.

If your child has just shown a slight interest in programming but they aren't sure if they want to really learn, the good news is there are a couple of fun coding games that you can download that they can try. The codeSpark Academy app is a good one to try because it's a game, but it also helps your child learn. It also has a few 7-day free trials, so you can try it out with your child before committing to anything. 

Finally, what if your child starts learning to code and you want to understand what they are talking about? Why not download an app and learn to code yourself? SoloLearn is a great app that you can use to learn to code, and the best part is that it's free. It has over 500K reviews and has been downloaded over 10 million times. If you find that it's not for you, you haven't lost anything. But you may find a new fun hobby you can share with your child. Coding using apps is a fun and interesting way that anyone, from children to adults, can learn how to code.
