Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I was considering setting up a facebook for my son as well he is almost 12 Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: "jm.smoldt" <jm.smoldt@...>Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:56:01 -0000< >Subject: ( ) Computer buddies for younger kids Ummm yeah the youtube video hack stuff definitely looks over my son's head. I was considering setting him up a facebook account if anyone's interested for some of the younger kids that aren't quite so computer literate yet. He is 6 and loves video games, board games, and star wars. Face book has a built in chat feature, and the kids could post videos, pictures, comments etc. Anyone interested?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 You'd be surprised what they learn from watching and trying. My son watched the videos of people playing Nintendo constantly. He started attempting to make his own as he watched some how to video's. They helped alot. He got frustrated along the way, and sometimes he just stopped and went back to watching the video's. He got obsessive about it and he can do it now. It in no way happened overnight and was a lot of 3 steps forward two steps back kinda thing. Hang in there, ya never know.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've cosidered this, but my son is 12 and the TOS require that he be 13. He is allowed to use my facebook to chat with friends although in reality that would require him having friends. He can't wait till he is 13.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Both of my kids have facebook accounts under fake names (and birthdays) so they can play games. They can also talk to their grandparents and close family. I figured this was a good solution since they always were bothering me to play on my account, lol. If you get a facebook account for your son, let me know his user name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suzanne suzmarkwood@...
