Do I need to know coding to help my child?

Is coding safe for kids online?

Yes, if you use trusted sites like Scratch, Code.org, or Khan Academy. Just avoid unmoderated chat features.

Tablets work for beginner tools like Swift Playgrounds or ScratchJr. But for Python and Roblox coding, a laptop is better. Got more questions? That’s normal. Coding is new for many families, but the journey is totally worth it.
