There’s a lot more to keeping a conversation going than just chatting about what you had for lunch or whether or not your new shoes are cool. But before your kid pulls their buddy into their next YouTube upload, they can practice their interviewing skills. In fact, “collabs” - videos in which two content creators join forces to film a video together - are incredibly popular. Many videos on YouTube aren’t solo ventures. The Stop Motion Studio app can give them all the tools they need to make a visual masterpiece. It is not just super cool visually - the technique also encourages skills like attention to detail and patience. If you have concerns about them sharing their life online but still want to empower them to explore video creation, stop-motion videos could be a great way for them to stay creative while maintaining some privacy. Dive Into Stop-Motion VideoĪlthough the platform can be a great resource for learning how to Dougie or exploring cultures across the world, you might not be totally on board with letting your kid post public videos of themselves. YouTube is one of the most popular video platforms for kids, and many teens and tweens actually aspire to be professional YouTubers - whether through posting lifestyle videos, giving gaming tutorials, or something else entirely. Wow in the World, a silly podcast about science and technology, is sure to keep younger kids giggling, too. Older teens can learn what it takes to keep an audience captivated by listening to the This American Life podcast. From funny one-liners and zany skits to short bursts of stand-up comedy, the ability to tell a good story is one that can help your kid throughout their life, long after they’ve left TikTok. If your kid has a funny bone, they should try their hand at some comedy, because the silliest TikTok videos are often the most successful. If your kid is crafty, they could make lifestyle videos featuring DIY projects like paper plate jellyfish and spooky tissue box monsters‚ or come up with one of their own - the possibilities are endless! Practice Their Best Jokes Hone Their DIY SkillsĪnother common way to use TikTok is to create easily reproducible activities that other people can follow step by step. If your child is interested in learning some of these moves, there are tons of how-to videos available on YouTube - from choreography to the latest Justin Bieber song to old-school favorites like salsa and the Moonwalk. Learning the latest dance craze set to pop music is probably one of the most well-known activities on TikTok (hello “Renegade”). No matter what your child’s favorite TikTok genre, there are plenty of ways they can practice some of the skills they’d explore on the platform. TikTokers (yes, that’s what they’re called) can also be experts at editing their own content, adding text, and even layering in sound effects. It can be difficult to stop scrolling through the enormous range of micro content - from dancing and singing to stand-up comedy and cooking. Whether your kid already has their own TikTok account or has been asking if they can finally join the TikTok universe, you’ve probably seen some of the platform’s bite-sized videos.
