The most usual benefits of learning to code that we hear in present times are interrelated with career benefits and its importance and technology world.  But do coding has other advantages as well?

Is learning to code at a small age beneficial for the children?

YES! There are seamless opportunities and advantages of learning to code at smaller age. To include the major advantages :

Coding enhances the logical thinking of children. When a child writes any code or apply tricks to solve any coding problem , the logical thinking capability comes into play. Continuous efforts at coding not only enhances the logical thinking during the coding session but also helps the children to interact more efficiently and logically with day to day problems and real life activities.

Learning to code at smaller age helps in building more structured thoughts. Coding is, in one way or the other, largely related to structured application of your knowledge of any programming language and the algorithms. This enhances the capability to automatic structured thoughts and more attraction towards a more structured and oriented life among children .

The creative thinking among children is enhanced. Whether it is solving coding problems or writing code for any development , coding enhances the creative thinking capability among children. It helps in generation of different ways and ideas to solve and work through a particular code and the capability of creative thinking is a really important factor in the mental growth of children.                                                                                                                                                            

Reduced stress and increment in problem solving skills. In addition to enhanced creative thinking and logical thinking of children , coding also helps in improvement of problem solving skills. Problem solving skills here , not only refer to the problem solving skills in coding and programming but also in real life.Coding helps in building new ways to face problems and deal with them efficiently with reduced stress.                                                                                                        

Along with enhanced problem solving ability , coding also provides children a sense of accomplishment and joy. Whenever anyone completes a code or a part of the code, the outcomes , the output brings a sense of joy and accomplishment to them.It not only motivates the children to become more continuous but also bring to them the belief that if they stay calm , stable and continuous at any work or activity , they will surely reach their goal and will accomplish great things in life for sure.                                                                                                            

Coding helps in developing cognitive skills in a more efficient way. Cognitive skills are the core skills used by the brain to think , read, learn , reason, remember and at the end apply them all together in real life. Coding is a really good way to enhance the cognitive skills of the children as it required them to apply their thinking , learning and reasoning capabilities all together in an efficient and  more impactful way.                                                                                                                              

Coding at smaller age helps the children to stay up to date with the present technology world. In today's world,children are surrounded by various electronic devices and keeping the track of  technological advances taking place is way too difficult in this modern world.Coding is one of the major components in the development of  these devices and the enhancing  of technological advances.Also , learning coding will not only be a great skill in the skill set of the children but will also be beneficial for their future career skills set.                                                                                                                    

Learning to code gives a more positive way to direct the curiosity of children. At smaller ages,the curiosity is at its peak. So,along with using the day to day applicable electronic devices like smartphones etc. it will be easier and more insightful if the children learn the internal working of the software and other applications.
