I've been trying to engage with my kid, and it's hard because we don't have a lot of common interests. But it's not about me. I hate youtube. But he wants to record videos tearing around the neighborhood looking for "ghosts?" Fine, y'know, that's a great way to get out of the house and run around a bit. Don't like minecraft, but he does. Fine, whatever, I'm gonna play it and learn some cool redstone hacks or whatever.

Maybe he'll get into modding when he gets older, and I can lure him deeper into programming. Maybe he'll want to ramp up the production value on these awful videos I record. I'm there for that.

The point isn't to make your kid do something big that you want, the point is to make room to do big projects that your kid wants.
