Youtube has infinite programming tutorials. Have him learn Flutter, it's going to be in high demand over the next 8 years, allows you to write one piece of code that runs natively on iOS, Android, Web, PC, and Mac.
I currently run a software company that does 7 figures a year and I originally taught myself to code via youtube. (Edit: I started learning programming when I was 9, so age isn't an issue—learning to program your own video games is a great way to engage kids early on)
Flutter really is a great framework, and Dart is a great language.
Just one additional tip for anyone going the “teach someone to code” route, find what interests your kid and work from there.
If they’re into mobile apps, then Flutter is perfect!
If they like games, you may get more motivation out of learning game programming with something like Python and Pygame, or Unity.
If they like social media, learning the web side of things or learning how to use the APIs of social media might be better. (and then promptly get them off of social media once they acquire those skills)

Nice!
I’m a software developer for a company run by a bunch of libtards, but I’ve been thinking strongly of starting my own business lately.
Trading the steady income of employment for running a business and trying to find my own clients seems daunting. Any words of advice?
I've never been employed so I couldn't say! I was fortunate enough to succeed quickly and early
