Welcome To Elias' Vlogger Era! Ellen Adarna Is A Proud Mama

Kids these days can say these two sentences better than their nursery rhymes, "Hi, guys! Welcome to our YouTube channel!" 

To add to the long list of YouTube content creators and vloggers is Ellen Adarna's son with former partner actor John Lloyd Cruz, Elias Modesto Cruz.

The four-year-old seems to be interested to get into the vlogging world, and we must say, he's a natural! The actress recently shared on Instagram a video of Elias in what seems to be a vlog about his toy guns.

"We're going to do our YouTube video, okay? So guys, we're in our house. This is our thing today," the 4-year-old said.

He started talking about his guns, and which ones are powerful and big. He tries them out one by one.

Ellen explained, "One of his videos I found on my iPad. He wants his own YouTube channel." She added, "FYI, he told me to post this." 

The proud mom also added the hashtag, "Don't grow up so fast, baby."

Should you create a YouTube channel for your child?

In a comment on her post, Ellen said in Bisaya (translated), "Ang dami niyang videos, isa lang ‘to. Nakakatawa kasi nagulat na lang ako nung nakita ko sa iPad. May photoshoot at vlog. Sabi niya sa’kin, “Mama, I have a meeting, I’m busy.” Tapos iyan pala ang meeting niya, nagba-vlog!"

While it's always tempting to give in to our child's whim to start a YouTube channel, not just because they all seem to be good at it, but also because it's very easy, we parents may want to consider some things first.

In a previous Smart Parenting article, parents Regina Layug Rosero and Oneal Rosero explained what made them say yes to their son who wanted to start his channel.

“Like many parents, my biggest apprehension is the danger of online predators,” said Regina. So they set rules like this one by Oneal, “He can only record and not livestream, so that there is no direct interaction with the public. This is so we can screen who he has contact with over the internet.”

“If at any time this starts becoming detrimental to his health or development, this all stops,” Regina stressed. Read the full story here.

For now, while Elias is still creating content, we'll be on the lookout for when Ellen uploads the other videos on her iPad. It won't be long until we hit that Subscribe button and notification bell on her beloved son's YouTube channel.
