Things to do

Coding is important for children as it will help improve their mathematics and writing skills. It will give them valuable life skills, which will be used eventually in the workplace.  Develop your child’s skill by starting to learn the basics of coding - you don't even need a computer! Problem solving and thinking creatively all helps them to develop resilience.
