Jaxon and I have created a new blog for him. As you may know, it is private. We did not create this blog for him to just have fun jotting down his thoughts and yes, we realize he is very young. The reason for his blog originally was good, now we'll just have to see what happens.
Jaxon is in first grade and is reading. Although he reads words just fine, he struggles with comprehension. We do not believe this is because of his accident. There are many factors as to the why and we are only interested in helping him. A good friend and former elementary school teacher suggested a number of things that could be done to help Jax to comprehend better. One of the suggestions was to get Jaxon to write his own stories. We have (especially Kara) been doing this with Jax and have seen an almost immediate improvement with comprehension! I thought it would help to reinforce his desire and success with an offer for him to put it all into print and to then print it all into a book. Hence the blog.
We want him protected since he is so young and this is why it is private. It may fail. He was pretty excited at first until it took me a while to get it up and so in time we'll see. I just wanted to explain our motives in case someone was thinking that we were all crazy.
I think this is a good idea. Even aside from helping Jaxon with comprehension, kids love to type things and then go back and read them. I don't think you're crazy at all.
