David Wallace shares his thoughts on raising his children up to speak his language about blogging and more. David, a search and social media marketer, and blogger, is thrilled to educate his children about what he does and get them personally involved.
He’s got one daughter blogging and putting Adsense up, and his boy reading “Small Business Guide to Search Marketing.” Talk about crazy cool.
I’ve tried to bring my younger son along as I’ve gotten more involved with being a digital citizen. It’s been an on and off again situation. He’s tried blogging, MySpace, and Twitter, but his real online home seems to be forums. He’s a significant contributer to many forums on his favorite topics, even being invited to write guides for various online games. Different than my deep dive into social media and networking but to each his own.
So are you bringing your family along for the ride? Teaching them the lingo and the meaning of what you do online? Did you get them into blogging? Perhaps they were there first, on their MySpace and Facebook pages? What’s your family’s story?

I am so trying to get my kids more involved but it seems their only interest is maintaining their Facebook profiles. I have tried to encourage my oldest to write a skate boarding blog but he is just not interested. Oh well….
My oldest daughter, still a tween, has a blog on a school website. My wife, who teaches choir at a school, has a facebook account.
It seems that kids check their facebook accounts more than email! I’ve never even been to that site, so perhaps they feel that I am the one out of touch with the current state of affairs.
