YouTube for Kids...Yes or No?
I have three children. Their ages are 8, 10, and 14. They are all screen addicts. We have screen time limits, but it's always on their minds. One problem we've come across is YouTube. My two youngest are obsessed with the idea of having a YouTube channel. My youngest son loves to rap, and he's actually pretty good, not to mention adorable. So many people have told me to put him on YouTube. I must admit, there are times when I try to convince myself to do so. My middle child is the planner/coordinator. He's a thinker. He loves to think of things they could put on YouTube. My oldest is a singer.
I've put some thought into this, and I've considered letting them do this, as long as they do it together, and I see every video for approval, before it's published. I'm still very nervous about it though. My kids are the most important people in my life and I don't like the idea of making them available to the public, so to speak. Child predators always come up with new ways to prey. Maybe I'm just overthinking all of it.
