Recently, we allowed my nine-year-old son to start his own YouTube channel. So here's the backstory and the how and the why and just some of the parameters we have when it comes to YouTube and kids having their own channel.

Lessons learned:

• Make a plan.

• Encourage them to take a level of ownership and responsibility.

• Be safe, but also not scared.
