Absolutely Gracie! My son (who's 9) got into coding after being inspired by my career transition. He loves it! He started off with Scratch, and is now building whole web apps with (basic) user authentication and all š
Coding has made my son more analytical in his thinking; also his tenacity at problem-solving at school has increased, because coding bugs are teaching him to slow down, talk through the code, the rubber-ducking technique, etc.
Getting kids into coding needn't be about whether that's what they'll do as a career, not at all. Coding exercises so many competencies and abilities that serve our children no matter what they end of doing.
