Not a parent, I was a kid to a software developer and now I'm a software developer. I think the most important thing is nurturing curiosity. Whenever I wanted to know how something worked my dad would show me. Eventually I figured out how to learn things myself and it snowballed into the career I have now. I never felt dumb asking questions and now learning is my favorite thing to do. I was never taught to code, I figured it out myself using the curiosity my parents gave me.
