Mark Zuckerberg teaches his two daughters Maxima and August to learn programming, typing and even playing games.
Last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a picture of his daughter August, 3 years old, next to a personal computer with the description: “Kano is pretty great for teaching kids to code.” In addition, Mark also revealed his experience teaching his 3-year-old daughter to type.
“By the way, I also want to share that teaching a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 to type is one of the biggest tests of patience I have ever experienced. August literally types at 1-2 words per minute. I almost lost my patience when she put a few letters into a word but made a mistake, then pressed delete three times instead of once, then typed again from the beginning,” Mark wrote.

In an interview with CBS television channel , the Facebook boss said about his parenting style: “The first principle is that we don’t give our 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren everything. Children need to live responsibly. My husband and I Take your kids to work, to the office, so they can see what you’re contributing.”

You’ve got us and we’ll do everything to make sure the world is better for you and every 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of your generation.”

Recently, the Facebook CEO was criticized by Democratic US lawmakers when he announced plans to develop a version of the photo sharing application Instagram for 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren under 13 years old. Lawmakers said that “Facebook does not protect 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren on its platforms” and only knows how to put interests first. In response, a Facebook spokesperson said the company “wants to provide experiences that help parents see and control what their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are doing.”
