Remember when you were a kid and wanted a dog, and your parents (good ones) tried to emphasize that your ideas weren't realistic because you wouldn't put in the effort and responsibility required to have one?
This is the same scenario except your kid thinks he can more reasonably trick you into shouldering responsibility.
I wouldn't even sweat "learning to code" as a concept for his enrichment because A) he won't be able to meaningfully do so at his age and B) there's literally a zero percent chance "coding" survives AI.
Such a strange thing that people forgot how to parent.
