What they found when they started teaching computational thought to young children in various school districts is that there was an unexpected benefit, in the ways the kids approached the rest of their work. They no longer would complain about not doing well in math... they would talk about debugging why they didn't get the answers right. It turned kids as young as 6 towards problem-solving, and their academic performance increased across all subjects, across entire classes.
That is the true value to your child - to give them an entire new perspective on problem solving, that help them to realize their own performance is not a thing to be judged, but a result to be improved.
