I'd be careful to ensure that the little fella carries on cooking because he wants to.

I totally agree as this has never been about money making, from the start it has been a bit of craic between the 2 of us and the 1st time he says he doesn't want to do the video's anymore well that's the end of them, I hope I'm not putting out the wrong picture of myself as I'm not one of those freak pushy parents that want their kids to rule the world,he's a kid at the end of the day and his enjoyment and memories to look back at later in life is what matters

No you're not coming across like that at all, and everyone can see how much Ciaran's enjoying it. There'll probably come a day when he doesn't want to do it anymore, and that's when you'll really be glad that you recorded it. My kids are adults now and its stuff like this that you treasure

That's exactly it. Enjoy the food by the way!

He really seems like he's interested in what he's doing - and really seems to be enjoying it!! I don't think you'd get a 5yo to do that if they didn't want to.

He's so adorable!! *SQUEEEEEEE*

I don't know if you were on Martic, I just switched on as they were introducing Ciaran's clip. The show's usually repeated the following morning on the 3e channel if you want to catch that.

Just to clear something up,Ciaran will not be appearing in person on TV3 the papers kinda went a bit OTT on the whole job thing,I got a call from the series producer and they want to air his youtube video's on a weekly bases for a few weeks,they have already shown 2 of them maybe they wont show anymore who knows but he is enjoying seeing himself on the TV.

Ah these keep getting better and better.
Loved the start where his digs his potatoes and picks his onion for the soup.

martic - You should seriously think about setting up a blog or your own website.

With the growing interest in Ciaran's video's and advice from others (yes that would be you Hill Billy ) I have decided to created a Blog page, in it there will be video's, recipes of past and future dishes plus picture recipes and u never know we might even get in a father son cooking video if I can rid myself of the fear of cooking in front of a camera :eek:

Ah bless this is fantastic, only discovered it today. Ciaran is such a cutie and exudes growing confidence in each clip! So enjoyed watching them this morning and can't wait to show my OH this evening! Fair play to ye both!!!

I'm not a parent, but I don't think you should have any worries in that regard.

Here's Ciaran's latest video "Eton Mess" one of his favourite desserts, His leek and potato soup video was shown today on TV3 which again was class to see
