My daughter for the past 3 years as asked if she can have a youtube channel, her friends have one, I have one and she wants to be like everyone else, but me and my wife see dangers in this and have always said no.
Now my daughter hits 11 tomorrow and me and my wife said to her when your 11 come to us with an idea for youtube and we will look into maybe, MAYBE getting one sorted for you.
Now my daughter is 11 and is coming into her own, she has gone away and done some real thinking and come back to us with some really good ideas and we know what she is wanting to achieve.
She has a book called the magical idea book, this is sort of a business proposal to look at and she has really gone into depth in what she is wanting to do.
She is wanting to make her channel dedicated to children aged between 0 and 5 years old.
she does not want to be on youtube her self but to use colourful puppets handmade figures to act out what she has in mind.
she wants it to be educational and fun while interesting by using characters she has come up with her self.
Now with the amount of thought she has put into it, we have had to have a good think about whether or not to let the channel happen, but we think with what she has in mind is a good thing.
Now, this is the early stages, she has asked for our help to begin, it is not as simple as getting out the computer and filming a few clips to pop on to youtube.
she wants a set, she wants puppets and she wants it to look magical.
So today while she is at school I have been out and bought her the hardboard to build together the set that she needs. I have ordered felt and other craft items to build what she wants.
this is all in motion now.
stay tuned for the building of the set, I will take you through everything while me and my daughter bond over this magical time.
