To your point on working on projects and having a shared interest with your kid. My dad is a doctor and has been learning to code for the past few years for fun and to build tools to use in his work. I'm a highschool student and have been learning to code alongside him. I'm a bit more advanced than he is because I have more free time to learn so when he gets stuck I help him out. Helping him solve bugs in his code is really great bonding time and I highly recommend doing something like that with your child / parent.
