Caden Teneycke is in the midst of an unexpected journey that began when his parents started questioning the amount of time he was spending watching YouTube videos.
“Go play outside. Go do something productive,” Caden recalls being told. “Then my dad said, ‘Instead of watching it all the time, learn to make something like that.'”
But the prospect of being the centre of attention felt daunting. First, Caden thought his life was boring. Second, he was born with a condition commonly called dwarfism.
“I’ve always had people looking (at me), staring (at me),” Caden says.
Strangers have pointed at him for as long as he can remember.
“People walk by and go, ‘Oh my gosh!’”
But Caden decided to face his fear of appearing on camera. The then-11-year-old started researching how to produce content, and eventually shot, edited, and starred in a video that showed him getting out of bed, riding to the kitchen on his Segway, and climbing up to the height of the counter to get water from the tap.
