There's no doubt about that, learning is quite easier as a child, maybe it's about the patience aspect that makes it so difficult for adults and probably because our minds are already channeled into lots of unresolved issues that we don't even want to add to that.
Coding has never pricked my interest, lol, maybe that's why I would opt in for children to be made available with the right set of tech component they prefer to go into rather that restricting it to coding alone
Enjoy your day Man
