Why My Daughter Loves The YouTuber DanTDM

**I'm an Amazon affiliate member so the link for the book I mentioned is an affiliate link. However, it won't impact you at all if you click it. It'll just help me buy more books. I want the new Jodi Picoult. So thank you, if you click! I appreciate it.**



My daughter watches videos on YouTube. Probably too many. But sometimes Mommy needs quiet, so I allow it. We don't limit screen time unless grades are poor. The YouTubers she watches a lot of are CookieswirlC, Kelli Maple, Stampycat, PewDiePie, and her brother Tommy, of course. (You can check him out here. He makes gaming videos, plus videos on what it's like living with Autism.)

She also watches DanTDM. The TDM stands for The Diamond Minecart. Dan is a twenty-something from England who plays a lot of Minecraft. He doesn't JUST play Minecraft though. Natalie says she loves watching him play Roblox and Pokemon Go too. But there are many reasons why she loves DanTDM.








1. He makes great videos. Obviously tons of other people agree, because he has over 12 MILLION subscribers. Parents tend to like him because he doesn't swear in his videos.



2. She loves his pugs. He has two: Ellie and Darcie. I think it's why she wants a pug now. She thinks his are "too cute!"



3. His British accent makes Natalie smile.



4. He has blue hair right now. Natalie thinks this is fabulous.





5. He's easy on the eyes. I told her this once and she was all, "First of all, Mommy, you're too old for him and second of all, he's already married to JEMMA."



6. He wrote a book! I struggle to get my daughter to read, which pains me because I LOVE to read. I assumed each person I created would be bookworms, but nope. However, Natalie has been reading his book. It's written like a comic book, which means it's easy reading, and the illustrations are colorful. The book is called Traysaurus and the Enchanted Crystal.






If you want the book, you can buy it here.





To learn more about Dan TDM, you can check out his social channels! (And nope, this is NOT a sponsored post, my daughter just really wanted me to write why she loved Dan on my blog. She's hoping Dan notices this and will say hi.)

  16. As a YouTuber myself, I love that she's into Dan TDM. My son watches YouTube all day (gamers mostly) and as long as his grades don't suffer, he can watch it all day long. I do think monitoring what they watch is essential though because come of the language can get inappropriate for our little ones. Nice post. So nice that you wrote that for your daughter ;)

  17. How very interesting! I don't frequent Youtube, but know many people who do. I must admit the dog is pretty cute.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This is awesome, it's good to see your daughter has found a positive influence she follows on youtube. The internet can be a very scary place for children. I love the pictures, she is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Both my kids too watch a lot of videos in youtube and I do have some restrictions to make sure they are not wasting too much time on it. DanTDM sounds really interesting as Minecraft is so much hit with my kids and I am going to check this out for them!

    ReplyDelete
  35. My daughter loves YouTube videos and I always keep on filtering the videos and keep on warning her. I think she knows this one too. Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil are her favorite YouTubers.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hello from England, it is adorable that your daughter loves DanTDM!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I've never heard of this guy before but I'm sure he's talented and entertaining! That book's really interesting and I'd love to learn more about it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. He sounds like an awesome guy! I'm interested in the comics that he wrote. I'm sure it's a fun read!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Aww that's sweet! I can't say I really watch YouTube videos, so I've never heard of him but he sounds sweet!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm that odd person who can't stand YouTubers... No matter how much people like them I just find them annoying. Not that they don't have good videos or anything like that, they just usually have quirks that I can't get over or their voice annoys my brain....

    ReplyDelete
  41. Your daughter certainly knows what she likes or dislikes. Pugs are darn cute. Several friends tell me their kids spend time watching youtube. Could be worse.

    ReplyDelete
  42. My girls would love him too. Thank you for the introduction

    ReplyDelete
  43. That's sweet of you to write a post about him for your daughter :) Glad to see he has a positive influence on her.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I hope Dan reads this and gives your daughter a big shout out! The pugs are adorable and I love that you wrote about a few of your daughter's favorite things.

    ReplyDelete
  45. That is so sweet! I hope he reads this post. I've heard great things about his channel. And his pug is so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Aw this is so adorable! I watch his channel too! I'm quite the gamer myself ;)

    ReplyDelete
  47. My nephew loves him also! I have seen a few of his videos, but that isn't exactly my cup of tea hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  48. My kids are huge fans too, I just couldn't wrap my head around why they wanted to watch someone play a video game instead of playing the game themselves! I'm sure I know more about him than I realize but I was surprised to read that he wrote a book! Learned something new ;)

    ReplyDelete
  49. My daughter just now started watching YouTube. She hasn't mentioned him or his channel, so I'll have to share this with her.

    ReplyDelete
  50. My boys both like DanTDM as well! It's so awesome to find kid-friendly gamers on youtube <3

    ReplyDelete
  51. It is awesome when your child finds something they love and it inspires them to read! She is so cute!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. It amazes me how many kids watch YouTube. Your daughter is certainly not alone and this guy seems to provide good entertainment for her.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Our 11 year old son loves to watch people on youtube but I keep monitoring who he follows and what he watches. That dog is a darling!

    ReplyDelete
  54. It's great your daughter has found something she's interested in. I remember when I was kid I wasn't really a bookworm either until I got older I became more interested in books.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Aww this is such a sweet post, I love that she wanted you to blog about him and I really hope he pops over and says HI!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Your daughter is so precious! I'm glad that she's found something she enjoys watching. My daughter (2 y.o) loves the ABCKidsTV channel on YouTube, and I mentioned that online and go a lot of flack for it. She doesn't watch it long, but I have only noticed good things about her memory, and cognitive development since she's been watching, so I find that YouTube can be good for them!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Awww how very cute is Natalie and Dantdm sounds like a lovely fellow, glad he doesn't swear in his videos

    ReplyDelete
  58. So cute! I really hope Dan reads this post and says a personal hi to Natalie too! His book looks pretty interesting to read :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Awwwww this is so adorable. I love how she likes his accent😊😊

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hahah, this is such a cute post. Took me back to my younger crush days..lol, I loved how she told you you're too old for him. And I really hope he does see this post and waves back hi to your daughter. Should check out his videos too.

    ReplyDelete
  61. My kids also watch YouTube sometimes. Probably too often. They also like CookieSwirlC. As long as it's balanced, I don't mind some screen time.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Your daughter is no longer a kid! She has a crush now. I think DANTDM seems like a nice youtuber.

    ReplyDelete
  63. It is nice to see some quality content on YouTube. Some people really filth it up!

    ReplyDelete
  64. He sounds like an awesome channel! I love seeing new YouTubers.

    ReplyDelete
  65. He sounds like someone I would watch on Youtube! I love that she loves his dogs...LOL!!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I am glad that there is a YouTuber that is "child friendly." My kids are older and they are on YouTube for music videos or funny videos. I do hope Dan notices this post and would reach out to say hello to your daughter. :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. My daughters and their cousins loves him also. It's great to know there are still some great YouTube Channels for the younger ones.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Internet is a good and bad distraction from outdoors. Now that no outdoors are left they need something to kill their time.

    ReplyDelete
  69. As a former pug owner, I can relate to loving him for the pugs. I'm going to have to check out his channel for the grand kids. They follow quite a few youtubers and enjoy watching them on rainy days. ALL DAY, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  70. My son is a new youtuber I have to tell him about this guy. You daughter is a cutie patootie.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I never heard about this youtuber before... It good that your daughter follows someone positive ☺️👍🏻

    ReplyDelete
  72. My 8 year old watches some of these mincrafting YouTubers. I wonder if he's one of them!
