Hello Cassandra Yuting Chin,

I have a question. My 9-year-old really enjoys coding, but the challenge is keeping him motivated to stick with a project week after week. He’s talented, but often gets distracted adding new features instead of focusing on completing the core parts of the code.

Also, how would you recommend I start introducing my 5-year-old to the world of coding in an engaging way?

Thank you!

For this you need setters.

I am going to provide you a link with some information that I provide about this topic:
