Why Kids Should Learn Coding in the Age of AI

from Mothers of Boys Survival Guide · host Flame Digital Communications

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but most of our kids are only using it, not understanding it. So the real question is: are we raising kids who can just use technology… or kids who know how to think with it? In this episode of the Mothers of Boys Survival Guide Podcast, I talk with tech entrepreneur and Coco Coders' founder Elizabeth Tweedale about why coding and computational thinking are becoming essential life skills. We dig into how AI actually works (and where it gets it wrong), why critical thinking matters more than ever, and how we can shift screen time from passive to purposeful. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to keep up with technology right alongside your kids—you’re not alone. This conversation will give you a new way to think about it.
