I was thinking more of flying restrictions. We were planning on a trip to London back in 2020.

My kid also struggles with the motivation to code. I may have to sit and think of a different pedagogy - kids are not just small adults, lmao. I mean, when I teach her maths or science, she says its very easy - coz I separate out the ideas from the formalisms (be they formulas or symbols), so that algebra is just a kind of grammar of numbers.

So... coding is kinda a grammar of logic, so helps to understand logic before encoding it. eg we've done iterative loops, and when they converge and diverge - and that she found interesting.

I still haven't cracked the motivation code.
