dan-pud8593yI run a code club at my kids school. He was 10 and we started with stuff like scratch then did some html/CSS and then did python.
The stuff here is very good for kids:

C0D4681453yKids started learning scratch at 7.
They're not overly interested yet in the coding side but they like making things move and blowing up with it. -
turbod3253yI have no kids, but I've been one, so I hope my experience enters in the scope of your question:
They were 90's, and slightly before PC came to home of people no were really into tech world.
I was 7 when my father teach me to program his old programable calculator. I think it was the Casio FX-702P. He also provide me some paper pages with example code of programs.
I made some stuff there.
He only allowed me to write on the calculator if previously I wrote the code by hand on a paper. I think it was a very good decision.
Some time later (a year?) my father teach me the very basics of QBasic. From there on, I got no more teaching.
I went into a circle of make a lot of things with the only technical knowledge I had and spend hours reading documentation to learn new things that made me able to made new things.
After some years of that, the last intervention of my father: he provide me a printed book of visual basic, in my mother tongue.
Then, earlies 00's, I went into JS
What age did you started teaching your kids a programming language? And what language is that?
