I found this article on Moms Every day asking if there are any negative affects on blogging with children. As a parent and a blogger myself, I was really interested in this article. If someone would have asked me the same question, being in the Psychology field, I would have said the exact same thing. While, other people may have different ideas, I totally agree with this writer, also in the psychology field.
In my opinion, it is the information inside of the blogs that you write about. Also, it is the amount of time you spend on the computer doing your blogs! If you are a mom who is on the computer only about an hour a day then that is okay. But, on the other hand if you are constantly on the computer in front of your children, that is sending a different story...It can come across as ignoring them, you have something better to do than play with your child, you don't have time for them, it's okay for mom to sit on her butt all day and play on the computer, so it's okay for me to do it...just a few negative things about being on the computer or blogging for more than an hour a day.
If you want to get the most effective use of your blogging time about your children. Do it before they wake up or at night when they go to bed, so you are not taking any valuable time away from your children. Also, if you can get away with at your work, then I would encourage doing that.
Of course, blogging, talking and bragging about your children can have positive influences on your children if you let them know what you are doing and show them your blog in the future.
