The Amazing Adventures of Lightning Dash

I'm still not sure this is a good idea, making his blog public and all. But the kiddo wants it to be read widely and publicly so here goes...


Full disclosure: his blog contains Amazon affiliate links just as Funschooling's does. What this means is that clicking on his book links may lead you to Amazon.com and if you make a purchase, he will receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

My concern and discomfort with making his blog public is obviously about internet safety...but I have put several safety nets in place and have disabled comments, so hoping it will be okay. Also, I worry a little about the impression readers will get from his posts...he is a silly, crazy but sweet 8-year-old...still very naive about the world...and I don't want to control his dictation to me as I type it (at least not too much)...so please excuse him (and me too) for anything that seems out of the ordinary.

Edited in April 2012: Kiddo's blog is no longer The Amazing Adventures of Lightning Dash. It is currently: Math and Other Adventures.

  3. Thanks ladies! The only reason it's even up there is because mom convinced him she'd type for him till he's ready to and help him tweak the design a bit too. He's happy we found a crossword puzzle background. With the caveat we be honest about it all in his profile LOL. He's really enjoying having a secretary!

  4. I just reserved all the books he had listed as his favorites for my son! I was wondering how you come up with the reading list?

  5. Hi Tina! Thanks for visiting. Well, a lot of his favorite reads are not assigned or planned by yours truly. I try to have books of varied topics available on hand and he just picks them up according to interest. Not a very helpful answer I'm afraid!
