It's official, Srey-Yuu (@KidSisters) has officially become an NFT Showroom Verified Artist, and today we tokenized and sold her first digital artwork before she even had time to post about it.
The NFT Showroom's Newest Artist 👩🎨
Today was full of proud Dad moments, and it really reminded me of the endless potential the Hive Blockchain has. Several weeks ago @Sreypov and I purchased a stylus for Srey-Yuu (@KidSisters), and since then she has been tinkering with the Sketchbook iOS app on her iPad.
She's watched lots of YouTube Sketchbook tutorials and created several works already, but today we took the added step of learning how to tokenize and list one of her works for sale, only after the lovely and helpful @juliakponsford assisted Srey-Yuu in getting whitelisted on the NFT Showroom.
Our daughter has witnessed so many of her mother and I's financial struggles and visa problems, so she knows all too well the value of a dollar and financial independence.
She fully understands the vast amount of opportunities to earn on the Hive Blockchain, and I've made it clear she could easily find herself at 18 years old in Cambodia with a $10,000 nest egg of crypto ready to spend on a house, business, and land, starting her adult life fully independent.
Aliens Discover Hive 👽
Trying to think of a way Monkey-B could be a part of this new NFT adventure, I told her to make some drawings on paper that big sister could trace and use in a digital artwork, and "Aliens Discover Hive" was born out of a true @KidSisters collaboration.
A Successful Start 🤗
Low and behold the very person that inspired me to continue my own journey on the NFT Showroom, @richardfyates, purchased Srey-Yuu's first and only edition. She was elated when I told her the news, and she will be making her own post very soon detailing her experience creating this digital artwork, tokenizing it, selling it, and earning SWAP.HIVE.
Bright Future Ahead 🚀
While my American peers's children are eating Cheeto dust and playing Grand Theft Auto, our daughter has been listening to podcasts, learning multiple languages, massive amounts of computer skills, and so much financial experience and responsibility.
I just checked her Leo Wallet, and it is valued at $21.73 while her Hive account is valued at $681.00, a pretty good position for an 11-year-old to be in, albeit we are still stranded in Suriname, but that is another story...
🙏 THANKS FOR READING 🙏

Ofcourse you are a proud dad and the fact they learn about all there is online and how tokens work is for me the reason that they all know what mum dories and why.
I have them help me with LMAC but also with contests and blogs about things they like.
My account will be theirs when they are 18 and i am half way orca so that will be two orcas maybe when they are in charge. Fun things and better interest than the bank gives us
That will be a nice gift for the kids if this blockchain stands the test of time.
There are so many ways to use Hive educationally, and I think although frustrating at times, our girls love the experience. I can already imagine the day they want their own separate accounts, then @KidSisters will be "no mas." !ENGAGE 50

ENGAGEtokens.So cool! I was just wondering about getting kids to participate online and then saw your post. What kind of place do you think they might have on Hive?
With much-needed adult supervision of course, I find it very educational. I started out with letting them watch me make my own posts and earn money, and that led to me teaching our oldest daughter some markdown codes and giving her a few saved templates to experiment with.
In the beginning, I encouraged to her to only participate organized contests on Hive because that made the goals of the post crystal clear.
She's now up and running, selling art on the NFT Showroom, helping her Mom edit her posts, and making posts from scratch using her own imagination. The youth are the future indeed. !ENGAGE 15

You must be so proud of her! I'm really impressed too.😊
My kiddo doesn't make art but he would have a blast making minecraft videos. Not sure if this would be a good place for him to show off or not.
ENGAGEtokens.Wow, congratulations Srey-Yuu! 😍 You're doing a good job. Keep it up.
Congratulations proud dad! ☺️
The look on her face when she saw she sold her first tokenized artwork....priceless. Thanks for the support. !ENGAGE 10

ENGAGEtokens.As long as Hive doesn't collapse like a house of cards, I really think she'll be in a position to retire at 18 years old (in Cambodia). This would be huge generational shift, as her mother and I will likely work until our final days.

Way to go, Sret-Yuu!!!💯
As her parent, you have every right to be proud of her achievements and can pat yourself on the back for giving her tools for success. The rest is all her own ambition and drive.
I see great things in her future! @justinparke
Yes indeed, words can barely express my joy in seeing the skills this blockchain has motivated her to learn. Thanks for the kind words and support.

ENGAGEtokens.Thanks for the kind words. Well, I think the 7 day turnaround for post payouts is nearly instant gratification for work done. I do see a lot of lessons being learned via Hive, both indirectly and directly. !ENGAGE 15

This is exciting news! Congratulations! This first tokenized sale should give a nice motivating boost to produce more digital art and make herself a name as an artist. Way to go! :-)
Yeah, it was a game-changer, and she's already got some other pieces ready for tokenization. For now I will guide her through the first two or three listings and sales, but she can take over when she's ready. I taught her the other day how tokenize an NFT via SWAP.HIVE. Leaps and bounds! !ENGAGE 20

ENGAGEtokens.This is cool. I also made an account for her since her birth. I just hope that this blockchain socmed still exist when she finally is able to post in her own account ^_^.
The future is unknown, but I remain hopeful like you, and would like to see my kids' Hive account be a springboard for an independent future when they finish school. !ENGAGE 15
