How to make a blog
for kids?
Follow these 4 easy tips!!

4. The first thing you have to ask yourself is who is going to write the blog, you or your kids? If the answer is
your kids, then you are in the right place, you can start a blog inspired by your own kid, and if your child is too
young to compose by its own you two can work together to create something fantastic. Try this tips if you
want to start a blog for kids:
1. Choose a Niche:
whether it is cooking, gardening or even daily rants and
raves. Consider choosing a niche that both your child
and you are interested in and can do together. This
means, an specific topic like for example post things
related to painting, traveling, games, etc.

2. Decide on the Perfect Domain Name:
Ask your little one for ideas on the domain name. You want to
select something that is easy for people to remember. Even if
you cannot think of something fun and creative, your child
may have the perfect name for your blog and domain. Once
you decide on the perfect name, you can buy the domain and
get started with setting up everything, such as the pictures
and content.

3. Come Up With Creative Posts!
It is sometimes difficult to come up with topics on a
daily basis, so sit down together with your child and try
to come up with a whole list of different creative posts
you can complete with one another. Get plenty of input
from your little one to make sure he or she feels
involved. After all, you are trying to start a blog for kids,
and who better to have helping you with that process
than your own child.

4. Work Together on Projects for Posts:
Do not forget to work with your child on each post. You
may have to do most of the typing if your child is a bit
young, but you can still add his or her opinion to the
posts. And, if you are completing do-it-yourself
projects together, be sure to take plenty of pictures of
the different activities. Your readers will love to see all
the fun activities they can try at home too.

14. I believe that blogging is an amazing resource to share
information with students. it is a great way to share
articles, texts, books, homeworks, importan information
and notes of the class and a great way to keep everybody in
track of what is going on in our class (including parents)
also to ask and answer questions related to class topics
and/or class discussions. However, I have to admit that I
would not use this resource with students whose ages are 13
and under and I would not encourage them to create a blog
of their own if their age does not exceed at least 14 years old.
Why? Because even if you really are on top of the security
aspect you will not always control what they can be exposed
to, also at those ages I consider that is better to work with
other types of resources that are real and Tangible and
necessary for their motor skills development.

15. But I do support the blogs that are made by parents and
children , because in this case, the kids can collaborate
and still learn some 21st Century skills but the
responsibility and the control lies on the parent, but
usually this types of blogs are not fully oriented to
academic purposes (By this Im not saying that they don’t
exist because I know that they do) For example my
favorite Mom-Daughter blog, her daughter is an
important part of the blog because she collaborates
with her mom and inspire her, but this blog it is related
to fashion, hair, travel, and things like that.
