Is it too much to teach Python to a second grader?

My child became interested in coding after watching YouTube, so we’re planning to try it together on the weekend. Would Python be better, or would a play-based approach without a computer be better? I’d appreciate advice from anyone with experience.

For a second grader, Entry or Scratch is much better than Python syntax. Block coding also does plenty to build thinking skills. With Python, kids can easily get frustrated starting from indentation and English words.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Well, these days they say even second graders are learning Python... but isn't that old news? Honestly, I think the key is parents having fun playing with them together—does the language really matter? lol
