PineTime for kid - hyperman - 05-16-2024 Hello, I am evaluating if PineTime would be a good idea for my 7 year old son. He might have some light ASD.
My current idea is taking infinitime, and disabling all options I don't like at compile time, e.g. the games in there. I programmed C++ a decade ago, so I can fork and do basic adaptations. small pictures/noises and movement detection would be more major adaptations I'd do later, if ever. Thanks RE: PineTime for kid - KC9UDX - 05-16-2024 He's 7. I'm not "qualified to give advice" but spend time with him. Take him hiking. Go fishing. Teach him a musical instrument. Read with him. Get him an old watch, he'll be tickled pink. Even a pocket watch or a multi-function "stopwatch" he can wear round his neck. As for the PineTime, get one and configure it how you want. Then decide if you want to use it or give it to him. But don't fret when he accidentally breaks it. |
