Do your kids have something interesting to say about practically everything? Do you get a kick out of what they say, and do you think others will, too?
Maybe it’s time for your kids start their own blogs.
I think this is actually an interesting idea, and there’s an innocence in children that will bring fresh perspectives to topics that pertain to parenting and to the real world.
Before you set up that blog account, read this list of tips from Radical Parenting so that your kids’ blogging experience will be both fun and safe.
- Know your kids’ usernames and passwords for their blogs.
- Think twice about disclosing their full name.
- Don’t add personal pictures on the blog.
