Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the activities of parents related to the recognition and development of interests and IT abilities of 5–12 year old children. The research was conducted among 31 parents who actively help to develop programming interests of young children. The research problems focus on issues related to: family characteristics, the family’s motivation for engaging in coding / programming games, the organization of coding activities, the ways of improving parents’ programming competences and their opinions about the effects of these activities. The conducted research demonstrates that parents notice the importance and benefits of such activities for the development of interests and programming skills, as well as other non-IT skills.
