Block-based for the youngest, then Python. The language matters far less than whether the child will read an error message instead of panicking.

Screen time all week?

No. Roughly half the week is off-screen: planning on paper, tracing logic by hand, testing on each other.

No. Thirteen-year-olds move faster than anyone; what they need is a reason, not an earlier start.
