Hey NewspaperGrl! I think teaching children to blog is GREAT! Our 16 year old is not quite interested, but our 9 year old daughter is insisting that we create a family blog this summer. She wrote her first blog this weekend, in fact (about our dog- how he is white and fluffy) and plans to extend her writing to be about her brother’s iPod addiction, daddy’s phone addiction (Realtor at large), and my computer addiction (Realtor’s wife at large).
I told her if she can produce enough material to fill up four full pages, we would buy the domain she wants and let her get started. Wish us luck (and pray that it doesn’t backfire on us)!
