Most people tend to find programming complex and hard to understand, but the truth is, it is easy but a little bit complex. We need to understand the basic command and what we want to program for, it is quite impossible to understand programming language completely without encountering an error or mistakes.

When I started programming, it was quite complex to understand, especially looking at the scattered alphabet around and letters and trying to comprehend how to go about it; then I started to ask questions and also practice. Later, I understood that they were just scattered alphabet; everything has its meaning. 

When practising alone, one thing that made learning easier for me is Chatgpt, each time I am lost in coding or probably made a mistake in the installation or anything in my coding I copy it to Chatgpt and then ask questions if I was doing anything wrong or right, it then corrects me on my mistakes this is one major factor that made my learning easier because my tutor was too busy to create time.

Based on kids' aspect learning coding can be a little bit easy as far as they have the focus on learning it but working with coding can be a little bit complex, there a simple part of coding and complex parts of coding when learning, and I will say honestly children learning it is a great gain for future purposes, not all of them will want to work as a programmer some might even prefer the medical line growing up, or law firm or sport but the truth is learning the basics of programming for kids will help them focus on their desire and aspiration, it took me time to discover my desire for coding but generally, it is never too late to engage in. 

I once worked as an Information communication technology teacher, and I was also opportune to teach the pupils Python programming, Year 4 to Year 6 Basic Pupils; not all the pupils had an interest in it, but the few that had an interest in it really motivated me through their focus and learning pace. I taught them how to print with Python and also print calculations and solve their class maths on Python, they felt really motivated, especially getting answers to their homework on Python terminal, 

This is why I will say children can also learn Python because Python can be made easier for them to learn at their level, age and mental capacity; you can't expect me to teach them how to develop sites without these children understanding the basic commands. Honestly, not all pupils can focus on learning Python because some prefer games or other subjects, but for the few that were ready to learn, I made sure I taught them the major basic commands to print on Python and also showed them. A few interesting works I have done on my portfolio.  

I have seen some children's programming tools and games that make programming learning for them, but I do believe in this. I believe in giving them the terminal to learn the basic commands and practice whenever they want to.
