4 interesting themes your kid can blog about

If your child has a flair for writing, then starting a personal blog is a great medium for her to express. A blog can function as the ideal outlet for artistic self-expression and can also teach your child many new things. It can encourage their writing endeavours further by challenging them while teaching them to build an audience, communicate with them and cater to their needs. It will also help them with time-management, while enabling them to be up-to-date with news and trends. Moreover, it is easy to start a blog now because one does not need to pay for it. There are numerous platforms where one can blog free of cost. 

The sign of a good blogger is consistency in uploading content and sharing a fresh perspective. Some kids immediately know what they want to blog about. Others are a little confused about what topics to choose. It is important to have a conversation with your child about what they would primarily like to have their blog focus on, and how they can select a theme which is not too limiting. Here are a few ideas for your kid’s blog. 

Book/film reviews 
If your budding blogger is a bookworm or a movie buff, then starting a blog which reviews books or films is the perfect choice. Not only will it be a platform to express her personal views about films and books, it will also encourage her to watch and read more. Book or film reviews can be a sustainable topic as they aren’t going anywhere!  

A picture blog 
This is an ideal option for kids who enjoy photography and even for those who are not professionally inclined towards it. Ask your child to click an interesting picture, something which tells a hidden story, and post in on their blog. This will sharpen his observational skills and insight.  

A journal-based blog 
This is something that everyone can do. Journaling as a practice had been encouraged by mental health professionals as a great outlet to express one’s emotions and feelings. This does not have to be intensely personal either. The journal-based blog could just be about interesting things your child has seen in the day, conversations he has had, etc. It is quite broad in nature, so it offers the freedom to write some sort of abstractness, too.  

Personal opinions 
Your youngster can share their personal views, opinion and perspectives through a blog. Help her select a relevant topic or trend and write what she feels about it. For example, a blog post about how the pandemic has changed school life for them can be a good option.
