When we look at the learning age of children, the learning age of children may vary depending on many factors. But in general, children begin to interact with their environment from the moment they are born and are born ready to learn. Babies begin to acquire various knowledge thanks to their basic skills, ability to use their senses, and ability to interact with their environment.
An important learning period is early childhood, from birth to age 7. During this period, children make rapid progress in many areas such as language development, social skills, motor skills and basic cognitive abilities. However, the learning process continues throughout life, and factors such as an individual's environment, experiences, and interests affect the learning capacity.
During the preschool period (ages 3-6), children usually begin to acquire basic skills, but this process may vary from individual to individual. Starting from school age, children begin to learn more specific subjects through formal education.
As a result, children's learning process varies depending on individual differences and environmental factors. Every child learns and develops at his own pace.
The period of learning software in children usually starts at the age of 7. We can provide software training to our children at this age. Children are interested in lifelong learning. Therefore, in terms of child development, the things we teach at an early age will be remembered.
First of all, they can continue their development in basic software terms and English. Later, familiarity will have an impact on our children. Of course, if your child is willing to take part in this education process, he/she will not have any difficulty in learning. You can't even imagine what he can do in the future. If my children are not inclined towards software, there is not much we can do for them anyway. But if we realize that your child has a tendency, of course he will achieve many things even at a young age. First of all, let's take a look at what we can do;
1. We should give our children basic English education.
2. Getting opinions and suggestions from people who are experienced in software
3. If you are a software developer and want to teach software to your parents, this will make your job easier.
4. In addition to learning English, we can tell our child about spelling terms.
Of course, without boring our children.
5. There are many programming languages. Preferably, since learning Python will not be difficult, we can start with Python training first. Python language is used in many areas. It is open source and free. It is generally used for development in Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Applications, Web Development, Desktop Applications, Data Science and Analytics, Game Development, Network Programming, Natural Language Processing, Robotics and Embedded Systems and many other fields.
Python can be used in many areas with its large community and easy-to-learn structure. This has increased the popularity of the language and made it a preferred language for various development projects across different industries.
6. It is important to provide training to our children at regular intervals so that they become familiar with the software.
7. We should not force our children in this process. It is also very important not to keep oneself away from social life and to pay attention to other areas of interest.
To give an example from myself, I started hearing and learning the first software terms when I was 17 years old. Because of my career choice, I studied computer programming in high school. In the following years, no matter how difficult it was, I developed projects in the sector. If I had started when I was a child, the situation would have been very different from my current situation. Learning software is a matter of pleasure for me rather than looking at it as a job. If I had looked at it from a business perspective, I don't think I would have gone one step further. Because it is a very difficult job.
If our children have a tendency towards software, it is important for your child to evaluate this. Don't let the existence of Artificial Intelligence scare you. No artificial intelligence can surpass the human brain and thought. Their perception abilities are limited to what they know and have learned. But the human brain has no limits. We should not forget that the creator of Artificial Intelligence is also a human. Artificial intelligence is a tool that will make human work easier now and in the future. That's why the statement that there is no future in software is a very wrong statement.
