    Thanks for the advice. Yes I absolutely want her to have the opportunity to learn more technical stuff and be able to explore and play games. Also lan parties for games.

    I just want some guard rails because we have issues with managing screentime and things like that.

    I appreciate your input, I was also teaching myself to code by the time I was in middle school, but this is a different situation and some guard rails are needed to manage screen time and app usage, etc.

    I’m not so much worried about her wrecking the computer and more about her wrecking her brain with unfettered access to the Internet
