How can parents encourage their kids to blog?
It’s all under the pillow
When your kids are at school write them little poems, messages or jokes and put them under their pillows. When they come home they find the notes and read them. I do this with acrostic poems using their names or things that are special to them. Then they write their own without me even asking them. We put them on embeddable electronic posters withWith images etc.
