I am past 1000, and feel great and my body shows it.
I love walking around as a mental break from thinking. Preferably solo, but when at work I typically invite others as it is the socially approved event and makes me feel like I am being a good person, despite rumors otherwise.
At home, for fun, I enjoy working with plants. I get a joy out of re potting plants. I especially love finding out an experiment to propagate a plant worked. Ask me about my random Christmas cactus success. I was so thrilled, 6 months later I brought in to work a dozen little plants to share.
By being involved. To many parents, IMHO, pass the responsibility to a third party. If you show interest and involvement they will naturally take it serious. Not to say that some might develop the passion on their own, but if you are present, checking homework, discussing topics etc. It will show.
I agree with n3t. What is your goal. Depending on why you want to learn programming would help answer the question. Most of the answer here I agree with. But if your goal is: to teach a little child, or find a job, or bragging rights at the bar, or personal enrichment, or ... it goes on and on.
Also knowing programming / coding / SW development / algorithms, although having a lot of overlap, there are different paths.
Only reason I can think to learn basic is if you do not know any programming language. And even then there are better choices.
