It’s amazing the varying degrees of shock and disbelief I see/hear from people when I tell them that my nine-year old son wanted a website and we agreed. It was not a decision that my husband and I entered into lightly. Nor is it one that our son is undertaking alone. He’s learning to blog, post photos and links, and just generally familiarizing himself with working on a computer. We think it’s a great experience. We understand that what he posts is public (we’re not broadcasting his URL to the world), but to the best of my knowledge we’ve taken the steps necessary to ensure his blog does not show up in Google search results. We are also funneling all the posts and comments through our email boxes. Is anyone aware of any other precautions we should take? Or is there anyone else doing this successfully with their kids? I’d love to swap ideas so let me know by posting a comment. Thanks!
