Win! 10 year old getting back into doing something she loved to do


My 10 year old daughter (turns 11 in a few weeks) used to do stop motion videos when she was 8. She used an iPad and her Monster High and Ever After High dolls that she had collected. She loved making them and was pretty good at it for being 8. We put a few on YouTube because she wanted to keep making them and sharing them. She showed a few of her classmates some of her videos and all they said was "You still play with dolls?". Because of that she stopped collecting AND stopped making her stop motion videos. It was a little disappointing and we tried to convince her to keep at doing things she enjoys but she wasn't having any of it. Again, this was 2 years ago.Last night she came running out of her room and was telling me that one of her videos had almost 50k views with comments telling her that she should make more. She admitted that she enjoyed making them and she shouldn't have let people decide on the things she likes to do.I think most of the views came from a previous post of mine where I had linked one of her videos but took the link down after realizing I posted the link to the channel that showed her real name (She actually has a channel we created to keep it a little anonymous.)Just wanted to say thank you /r/parenting for helping motivate her to getting back into something she had given up previously. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2imd2ZN
