8 Ways To Keep Your Child Out Of Your Vlog

Another comment/question I often hear is , “How do you do videos with 3 kids?” Lots of ways!

When I first started it was all about nap time. Now, it’s usually just about occupying them for a couple minutes. I plan what I’m going to say and where. Then I only need them to be quiet for a couple minutes while I record.

Here’s some things to try if you don’t want your children in the video:

• 1. Ask them to watch through the camera. Not hold it – just watch it. They can be the Director.
• 2. Let them watch a favorite video.
• 3. Tell them that if they be quiet while you record you will make a video of them next. Kids love to watch themselves on the computer!
• 4. Give them a snack.
• 5. Nap time and bed time, of course.
• 6. Ask another adult to watch them. It will probably be less than 10 minutes.
• 7. Give them their own camera to record something else while you’re recording.
• 8. If all else fails, bribe them with candy.

If you’re comfortable having your children in online video you have more options, but might have to do more editing or takes. If the content of your vlog pertains to kids your video could be better with a child in it.

Do you do videos with your children? Any tips or tragedies to share?
