No fluff. Each guide is a short, honest piece on one topic that comes up repeatedly when parents are evaluating coding programs for their children.
The honest answer to the question every parent asks. What research says, what we see in practice, and how a banded pathway beats a one-size approach.
Why "they seem to enjoy it" is not enough, what real progress evidence looks like, and how to evaluate whether a coding program is delivering substance or just entertainment.
A grounded look at whether AI changes the case for teaching children to code — and why computational thinking matters more now, not less.
A parent-friendly guide to visual programming, Python, and why the right first tool depends on age, confidence, and the kind of thinking a child is ready to practice.
How to tell the difference between passive screen time and active creation, and what parents should expect from a healthy after-school computing program.
A practical checklist for parents and school leaders evaluating after-school coding programs: curriculum, proof, safety, mentors, and progression.
Simple ways parents can support coding progress without needing to know programming themselves: ask better questions, celebrate evidence, and avoid taking over.
