Don't worry about kids acquiring bad programming habits when they're first learning. The only habit that matters is the habit of programming. Tidiness can come later. Enthusiasm can't.

What's the best way to introduce programming to 6y olds?
6 sounds a bit young. It might be more frustrating than fun. Why not just build Lego?

Well, if they're actually going to start at 6, I'd recommend Basic on Replit.

I was a massive fan of the lego mindstorms robots at 10! Seeing code run IRL was a surreal experience

@paulg what’s the min age would you consider starting them at? -
Depends on the kid. I waited till mine asked me to teach them. They have to be able to read well enough. Once past that threshold, if they ask you to teach them, why not?
