I would add, that we should teach kids the modern version of the lemonade stand, which can be a the classic lemonade stand, but also add more bits of advertising, product differentiation, marketing, etc for something that isn't necessarily lemonade but already of interest to the child. Coding isn't the important thing as it is identifying characteristics of it and presenting them to others. It would be fun to make a website together with them for their friends to use. They would provide the ideas and the adult would do the coding.
What's better than teaching your kids to code? Teach them to lead with vision and ideas. Let the other 99% of kids become coders.
