KIDS forum! How about it??

[LoveIslam]

Salaam,

I was wondering if anyone else likes the idea of having a category for Kids on this forum. This will allow them to talk to other kids.

How it would work:

Members of this forum would create a new account for their son/daughter
Then PM Admin and let her know what your child's username is
She will give them a Private Kids only category that they will be allowed to enter on their username
There will be a Boys Category and a Girls category
They can leave messages for each other.

What do you all think? It was my daughter's idea :wink:

aoa sis is that you narmi ??? you changed ur sn i seen this new sn and i said hey how come they beat me in the stars hehehehe :mrgreen: i think its a great idea . but for the younger kids who arent so computer savy and stubborn learners i like the post card idea pen pals. youssef recieve his first post card yesterday from his pen pal and it seems they have so much in common ie cars he was so eager to write back of course with me writing it . but he was so happy and i was so happy to see him so eager alhumdulilah i vote yes for the bigger kids a kids section why dont you make this a poll so we can all vote??

[Razzanah]

As-salamu Alaikum sisters my bint will benefit more then my ibn because he is only six so he will do the post card /pen pal thing but my bint is sixteen and she also does the post card but she stays on the computer so I will sign her up InshaAllah to talk to other teenager muslimahs out there MashaAllah count me in [rock]

[Halimah]

I love the idea! My kids would really enjoy that inshallah! :D

Dear sisters

Masha ALLAH what for a great idea. Our kids are a part of us so it would be great for them to have their place here. Even my Maryam is just 10 month, but maybe soon she can participate ( :wink: yes i`m a little bit crazy about her ). The forum would be great for her to improve her skills in babyenglish (language) , computer ( couldn`t start early enough ) and would give her a kick for study her first letters.

Dear sisters,

I think it is a good adea, but perhaps a few restrictions would make things a bit more comfortable. Or am I being old fashioned and out of step. I am thinking about the personal things and things that suite a more mature audience and especially the private link.

I am all for the children being able to communicate especially in a good islamic safe place, but perhaps you can make it so only those at a certain age can go into certain places (private area, or if they are married and have questions that would be different.

Maybe I am not making sense...What do you sisters think on this matter?

as salaamu alaikum,

i think it is a good idea. But i agree with serenity that they definately should not have access to our rooms [snooty22] [naughty22]

hmmm....was i not clear in my post about restrictions? I guess not. Ofcourse we will have to have the STRICTEST restrictions when it comes to kiddos. And i am thinking they ONLY have access to their own little section and that is it. Nothing else.

Although it was not clear to me the first time around (attribute it to slow eyes) it is quite clear now. insha Allah.

AOA sisters,

Yep, insha''Allah I'm in too. :D

My first born, (my daughter) has been standing at my shoulder reading some of my posts. ;D :-\ :-\

Alhamdulillah, definately a place for her and her brother to talk to other muslims kids is a GREAT idea. :D :D .

(Might help them with their reading, writing and spelling too insha'Allah.) :-\

Assalamu alaikom,

This is a great idea. I would like to suggest for the admin to add more educational way of forum for them to start with. And inshaAllah with more islamic values that they would deviate from it.

salam alaykum ya akhawaty
yes baby not born yet but i'm sure she'll be benefiting
i think it would be great... esp with the value they will NOT be dviating from as sis hasmina said... and i'm glad for the restrictios... shuld not be able to view mature content so unless certain age, certain parts of the forum remain invisible to them...
speaking of which, as we get to know each other and start sharing a lot more info with each other... maybe admin should have some of the sections where we talk alot (personal stuff) be only accessible to people with certain number of posts or someting like that...
love and hugs

We have a section for this reason. It is the Private Group section and only those with 100 posts can use it. Its for personal questions. See the Announcement section for more info.

wa alikom salam

That's a great idea sis.. I have that at my forum. I make a group for little muslimahs and put them in a catagory where they can't see the marriage forums or the other big sister forums.. It works out very good.. Noooo males are allowed on my forum... Even if they are little... :D

Would be too much work for us.

[bunny]

didn't read anyone's replies yet...

i voted YES-- BUT, they should not be able to access any of the mommy's forums since there are a lot of adult topics discussed there.

also, it should be moderated by an adult.

i think it is an awesome idea, mashaAllah!

can u imagine ur kids becoming mmc addicts now.. oh boy!

I believe Admin is working on it InshaAllah. Lets pray it is a success inshaAllah.

ooh goody!! Sis Admin u really do way too much for all of us!! mashaAllah. may Allah reward u!

[umm_mutasim]

MashaAllah, that's really a great idea.. .

only thing is that I don't have kids that are old enough to benefit from that at this point(maybe in a couple of years) but I do have a 14 yr old sister who'd love to be a part of it... Would she be able to join?

[MuslimMomsCafe]

InshaAllah I will be able to make a forum for young kids and teens. Now i do have something to think about, maybe you all can help me decide.

Should I make the forum for girls only? I feel that is more appropriate since we dont want girls and boys talking together.

So what do you all think. Please let me know.

thank you for the dua sister. That is more than what I can ask for. I have big things planned for this forum inshaAllah. So, so far, I havent done enough! [smilie=243221icon_lol.gif]

[bunny]

mashaAllah. that's great... I just saw the announcement about it.

[umm_maryam]

Assalamu Aleikum Wa Rahmetullahi Wa Barakatuh

Great Idea. I like girls only. It is good to get used to later. But for don`t leave the boys out, we can organize a scheduled boys chat like once weekly for boys up to 10 y. But the girls on the kids forum as well as the boys chat should have no acess to the mommys forum.

[bunny]

only for girls? hmm... i was thinking it would be for both- but w/ separate sections for girls and boys so that there isn't any mingling going on there. Unless you feel there would be some problems that you could encounter with that- or you might want to do a test run and if it seems like things are getting out of hand (boys signing up as girls and vice versa) or something strange- then perhaps get rid of the boys section only then.

Boys run in our family (from both sides) and so far, this little bun I've got baking will be a boy, inshaAllah.

I know I enjoy this environment very much and hope that inshaAllah, there will be a safe, Islamic environment for my son to go to as well when he is old enough to use a computer.

[dinah]

I disagreed!! no kids here!! no privacy!! they might see what we dont want them to see. no thanks!! bad idea!!

sis they wont be able to see a single thing on our forum, it will be totally seperate. They wont see our categories, forums etc...

I believe the only kids allowed are those who have mommies here...so we know for sure if they are kids and their gender...

i hadnt thought of that, i thought it would be open for all kids. if it's just MMC moms kids, that would be easier to monitor and really jnow the gender of the kids. perhaps the mom should have a certain number of posts b4 her kid can join- so we can be more sure that both mommy and child are legit

[s_dhakir]

Mashallah, I have a son and a daughter and I would love for both of them to be able to have a great place to go online like I do. So I think it's a great idea, just have them seperate so that they're not mingling.

But I definitely agree. This is a lovely idea!!

What age group girls are we talking about and will it be well moderated for Islamic/un-islamic content?

I'm wondering as my girls who would (I am certain) be interested are almost 12 and 10 insha'Allah.

Definatly! Safety for the kids is number one priority. Every measure will be taken.

It will be definatly be moderated. And only islamic content allowed. Nothing encouraging the harmful things that kids are exposed to in our society. My idea is to make the topics fun and informative helping them become better Muslims. I wouldnt allow cetain topics like movies, bratz or such dolls, etc. I dont want those encouraged at all. We will have to run it well for it to be enjoyable to them. We will take it step by step. Maybe start with fun polls, islamic quizes, learning manners, submitting stories, contests, etc.

It would be for all aged kids, each having their own access forum. Older kids will have their own and younger kids their own. One will not be able to enter the other. So far that is what i am thinking. InshaAllah lets see.

[smilie=111281salams.gif]

Alhamdu lillah sounds good sis. I know my girls will be enthusiastic and want to join right away. I like the sound of the topic ideas.

I'll add my vote insha'Allah.
