What's the best way to teach my kid programming. I don't know how. He's interested. He's done well in school with Scratch. He's expressed interest in Python, owns a Thumby, but never gets too far on his own. Instead of a Winter sport, we're leaning towards a Python class, however there's none in person. How can i help my kid embrace his passion and learn this skill which will help him his whole life.

He's got Mu installed and has perused youtube tutorials, but they dont hold his interest. Any help is appreciated. Edit: He's 10.

That's a great answer, thank you :)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I managed to miss the notification.

I still get frontend and backend stuff mixed up, but I'm getting there slowly. I need to learn more, especially as I want to be able to add push notifications to a web app I'm working on (opt in only, of course). It's a site and app for a small music festival, so I'm going to try to put in notifications for late changes to the lineup, and maybe reminders for when a chosen artist is due to start. Should hopefully be a fun challenge :)
