From Consumers to Producers: Helping Kids Make Screen Time Meaningful

She is hysterical, 3 going on 16, and she loves to watch YouTube. Her favorite types of videos to watch are people unboxing toys, cartoons, and these weird videos about families going on vacation or otherwise living their day-to-day life. I earned some cool uncle points when I showed her my YouTube channel. She thought it was the neatest thing and asked if she could be on my channel.
