YouTube and kids

Who doesn’t love YouTube? You can get lost for hours watching video after video. Many people are literally making a (very good) living off it.

I have a 6 year old son who loves watching videos. Some of the first he watched was from a kid called Ryan.

That little guy now has an estimated net worth of around $80 million which he earned from his different YouTube channels and spin off merchandise.

My son has now mostly moved on to watching channels of people who make videos targeted to kids (which we monitor) and family vloggers. (oh, and funny cat videos but who doesn’t love those??)

On Monday, he told be that this weekend, we will be doing a challenge that he saw in one of these videos.

Keep me in your thoughts this weekend, it’s going to be a long one 😉
