A great way to spend time with kids is to create a blog together
Create A Blog Together:
You may or may not find this idea interesting for you and your child. It’s understandable, if not. There is, however, one reason you shouldn’t dismiss this one, and that is if you feel it is too complicated for you (your child). This may or may not be something you want to do if you are spending time with an elementary-age child, but if you have a middle or high school student, this may be an excellent way to spend some time together and could be an excellent investment into their future.
Creating a blog years ago may have been a daunting and challenging task, but today it’s not as difficult as you think. There are tools like WordPress that make this something even the primary computer user can do. Blogging can be an excellent medium for your child to follow their hobbies or passions they might have.
Keep in mind that there have been a lot of people who have started a blog as a hobby or side project only to turn it into money. There are several ways to monetize your blog if that is something you are interested in pursuing.
