RE: How Do We Help Them Succeed? Znap Day 28
I think what you are doing now already will help them succeed. One step at a time as they are still young. Soon they will find out what they like and how to do it their way. I have not much experience though.
I don't let my children have an account on their own unless they show some sense of responsibility. So joint account with me. If he has any video he wants to upload then he will do it via me.
I have also created one account specifically for the @spunkeemonkee and told my eldest son it is a family account (which in the future I have in mind it will be his account). @jaysmasterpiece.
Well, I am learning. And all I can say is your are such a great inspiration to them already.
I am hoping the skills I am trying to get them to learn will help them. I have been trying hard to teach them that they have to plan out what they want their videos to look like, make time management choices, and the such to help them in a career someday. Then, of course, there is the whole being appreciative of the viewers, those who are in his camera range, and so. I am hoping it helps him and GG to grow a respect for others.
As for the accounts, their parents and I have total control and they aren't allowed on them unless one of us are present. These are basically "family" accounts, but I wanted to invest in them and felt building the accounts and teaching them how to use them was a good thing. This is such a digital age and they need to learn how to use the space. I see too many just allowing their children to do whatever online and their attitudes are ugly. Not to mention the content they put out is horrid.
We are definitely all learning! I am a grandparent and I still get so many things wrong. I just hope they learn the good from me more than the bad! haha.
Thanks so much for your perspective. I do appreciate it.
