RE: "steemit? Never heard of it. Is it like FaceBook?" "No, my friend. It is so much more than that...."
Such incredibly helpful info! Also thanks for the shoutout! That just warmed my heart right up!
I'm sure your daughter will come around! I finally have both the older two kids (19 and 16) on here. The oldest just got on and hasn't written yet, but the next one is @sophieharling if your daughter would want to connect to another teen. She's been at my parents house for three weeks binge watching fast internet, but she'll be back here in the jungle tomorrow and will surely be posting new content.
Hey! How you doing, it is nice to hear from you. Yes she will see sense or cents ;) Her mum got her a bank account the other day and my daughter and I had a very interesting discussion about what her reasons were for wanting to have a bank account. I didn't scare the 'be' jesus' out of her but it's good that they know what their money is being invested into. LOL, sowing seeds...
I will certainly let her know about your daughter being on here but I feel it will be a while before she comes around to this. If one of here Instagram idols came on to steemit, she would soon be here. My god, have I lost this much control already! :0
I'm doing alright. Been a crazy freakin week! How are you?! It's so important to tell them what the big businesses and government are up to. They pretend not to listen sometimes, but they are. They do love Instagram. Not my jam, but I think there's something similar on here. And losing control is the name. Of the game! I'm sure she'll come out fine.
I am good thank you and this blogging lark keeps opening doors that I would never have imagined. Lol no love for Instagram either but it seems that even the kids can see it's a one way street. Haha! Bye bye Instagram, Bye bye Facebook :) My daughter and her friend have just created new profiles! Wise young ladies :)
They are sat down writing ideas and starting on their introduction posts. I will certainly send them to follow your daughter when their accounts are active. Do you know any good tags that they could use to find more appropriate content?
That's awesome!! She really was listening! My son is also on here now. He's into music, poetry, and anarchy. He's @anarchyandbread. As far as tags it just depends on what she's into. There's lots of video game people on here that write about that. My daughter pretty well stays in the art. And anime communities. She also writes fan fiction, and there's a lot of that on here too. Of course I'm sure you're aware there's writing and art on here that is pornographic. Not sure how you or her feel about that, but it's good to be aware.
Thank you and yes that did cross my mind but as for my own experience, I have seen a handful of pornographic images on steemit( lol just realised the pun, "handful"). I have my restriction on so it just doesn't seem to pop up (that one was on purpose ;)
I will put your kids on my follow list and see if I can help support their work. They are the future! Lol, well some of them are...
Oh Lord, the puns!!!!! I have talked to my older kids about all that already, so I don't worry about it. If they want to watch/read it, they will. I just ask them to be aware that industry is full of abducted children and try to steer clear of anything dark. Thanks for putting the kids on your follow list. I'm trying to get my daughter to get back in the groove after her little break.
You don't know what you have started...
I have just had a very interesting conversation with my daughters school about bringing the pupils onto steemit as a safe place to blog. They sounded pretty impressed with the idea and at least everyone wins with this. Kids safe and slightly supervised and the schools gets a new revenue to buy equipment with! Bet they still turn it down. That is good advice for your kids to consider and I will be stealing that bit of parenting wisdom from you :)
Schools continually baffle me. They seriously just can't allow good ideas. They cut the nose to spite the face daily.
Glad that bit of advice resonated with you. I don't have a moral issue with it. I just know that industry has a lot of evil people preying on the young and weak. If it was all adults treated well and properly compensated, I'd really have no issue with it.
