My daughter is 7, she's pretty cool with tech. She's had an iPad since a young age, she has an iPhone which is in flight mode, it's basically an iPod and she has a smart TV.
She has no Aerial in her TV and we have parental controls on Now TV & Prime, so anything above a PG requires a PIN. She also has Netflix and she knows not to ever go into Daddy's user account, so again she's restricted.
She has Kids' YouTube, I've hidden Safari on her i devices, only I can download stuff and I also blacklisted it, in the parental control settings.
Education is key, we've spoke at length about some dangers and what kind of things aren't appropriate etc. She knows to report anything to me, instantly or I zap her devices off the router.
She also has an Alexa, she asks for the clean version of everything and if she hears a swear, she tells her to 'shut up' immediately.
It's a tricky one, we know how important it is not to get left behind, yet we also understand the dangers, so I opted for controlled freedom, she has gadgets, she totally understands the reasons why I restrict things and she feels protected.
She'd love a YouTube type blog, to talk about dolls, fashion and music. YouTube has far too many trolls and bullies, I'm gonna sit with her and make a micro blog, so she can upload the occasional video, on the condition that once per month, she does a video about internet safety, for other kids.
As she gets older, we could add comment systems, newsletters or whatever.
I reckon it's a winner, she learns what I do, she teaches others and feels like she's famous, if she gets a few likes (which I could boost up in the DB 😁)
