When my oldest son was still young, I was working on my first Android game: a memory game about recognising letters, words, or anything. With a voice saying the letter, word, etc, so children would learn to match the symbol with the sound. I thought it would help my son learn to read, but before I knew it, he could read already. (At 4 or something. Never had to teach him a thing.) I lost my purpose and stopped working on it.
Years later, we had another child. Deep into his struggles with talking, and later reading, I finally remembered that unfinished app again. Didn't know where it was, didn't want to restart it, and really the ideal moment for my second son to start using it was 2 years ago, so I didn't even bother.
