In trying to pique my 8 y/o's interest in writing and doing things online besides Webkinz or Toontown, I resurrected her old blog that she never began. I renamed it. I gave it a bright new template (just different colors - nothing fancy!). I also posted some of the posts from my blog on it that I thought kids in general might be interested in.
I am co-author on the blog as well as moderator - all comments are moderated. She doesn't do email yet, but I get a copy of all of her emails (as I do my oldest daughter's). So, if your children already blog and have some suggestions or encouragement for her, feel free! We've already had a response from an octogenarian from Sydney, Australia! (That's pretty exciting stuff for an 8 y/o!) Hopefully, I can get her to contribute some original stuff to it very soon!
I plan to have recipes, games, crafts, educational videos - things like that. One cautionary note is do not let your children peruse YouTube alone - it can be a pretty scary, raunchy place!
At any rate, if your kids need something to do this summer, check out her blog!
Update: You know what, it might be easier if I gave a link to her blog!
