Blogs for Kids by Richard L. Sanford


Flush out the writer in children. Blogging could draw out a young writer and open doors to

their future. Consider encouraging your child to start blogging!

Children love having an audience. The instant recognition and approval that comes from a

crowd just can't be beat. Employing blogs to help develop good spelling habits, grammar

skills, and develop a love for writing at a young age is an innovative concept that has

potential benefits:

Benefits 1.) Responsibility/Commitment - Daily Posts Regular updates require children to be disciplined and responsible.

2.) Communication - Increased Communication with Friends and Relatives Blogging or journaling gives children the opportunity to connect with relatives who might

live some distance away, communicating important timely issues.

3.) Technology - Exposure to Internet Technologies Children are growing into technology-laden world. Exposure to innovative Internet technology

will help them with communication skills and résumé-building.

4.) Improved Writing Skills When presented with an audience, children will want to present their "best" work.

5.) Improved Editing Skills Proofreading is an important skill that is difficult to teach. Editing of daily entries will

help children learn how to present their ideas clearly and professionally.

6.) Improved Spelling Automated spell-checking helps children be aware of spelling errors when they occur.

7.) Typing Getting children acquainted with keyboards at a young age will help them become familiar

with their layout and function, quickly making them proficient typists.

Before allowing their children access to the internet, parents should educate their children

on the dangers of the internet. The Internet is global in its reach and developing safe

Internet habits at a young age is critical. Remind children not to disclose personal

information including names, addresses or location of events they plan to attend.
