I'm not sure how to be relevant to my 10-year-old

She loves computers and as a computer engineer, this should give us a lot in common,but it hasn't really worked that way. Well today she needed help replacing some 3d modelling software that was discontinued. So I agreed to help her and applied my methodical and pedantic system for selecting software, and partway through, announced she had lost interest. 🤷🏻‍♂ I'm sure there was a better way to handle that, and I couldn't have figured it out myself in a million years

You showed her what engineering is like and she's 10.

She reacted as a 10-yr-old might.

Perhaps you should have continued to generate some options for her...and presented them to her afterwards.

If she could see what the results of your method are, she'd likely be more open to it.
