Take it down, please.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The above is a typical text message parents send to kids when they discover their child has posted something questionable online. More and more, however, it\u2019s kids<\/em> who are sending this text to parents<\/em>\u00a0who habitually post about them online.<\/p>\n

Tipping Point<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sadly \u2014 and often unknowingly \u2014 parents have become some of the biggest violators of their children\u2019s privacy.\u00a0And, there\u2019s a collective protest among kids that\u2019s expressing itself in different ways. Headlines reflect kids reigning in their parent<\/a>‘s\u00a0posting habits and parents choosing to pull all photos<\/a> of their kids offline. There\u2019s also a\u00a0younger generation of voices<\/a> realizing the effect social media has had on youth, which could be signaling a tipping point in social sharing.<\/p>\n

Ninety-two percent of American children have an online presence before the age of 2, and parents post nearly 1,000 images of their children online before their fifth birthday, according to Time<\/a>.\u00a0Likewise, in a 2017 UNICEF report<\/a>, the children\u2019s advocacy group called the practice of \u201csharenting\u201d \u2013 parents sharing information online about their children \u2013 harmful to a child\u2019s reputation and safety.<\/p>\n

Digital Footprint<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This sharenting culture has fast-tracked our children’s digital footprints, which often begins in the womb. Kids now have a digital birth date \u2014 the date of the first upload, usually a sonogram photo \u2014 in addition to their actual birth date. Sharing the details of life has become a daily routine with many parents not thinking twice before sharing birthdays, awards, trips, and even more private moments such as\u00a0bath time or potty training mishaps.<\/p>\n

Too often, what a parent views as a harmless post, a child might see as\u00a0humiliating, especially during the more sensitive teen years.\u00a0Oversharing can impact a child\u2019s emotional health as well as the\u00a0parent-child relationship, according to a\u00a0University of Michigan study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diminishing Privacy\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So how far is too far when it comes to the boundaries between public and private life? And, what are the emotional, safety, and privacy ramifications to a child when parents overshare? The sharenting culture has forced us all to consider these questions more closely.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s diminishing privacy is on advocacy agendas worldwide. Recently, the\u00a0UK Children\u2019s Commissioner released a report called\u00a0\u201cWho Knows About Me?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0that put a spotlight on how we collect and share children\u2019s data and how this puts them at risk.<\/p>\n

5 safe sharing tips for families<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Stop and think.<\/strong>\u00a0Be intentional about protecting your child\u2019s privacy. Before you upload a photo or write a post, ask yourself, \u201cDo I really need to share this?\u201d or\u00a0\u201cCould this content compromise my child\u2019s privacy (or feelings) today or in the future?\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Ask permission.\u00a0<\/strong>Before publicly posting anything about your child, ask for his or her permission. This practice models respect and digital responsibility. If posting a group photo that includes other children, ask both the child\u2019s consent and his or her parent\u2019s.<\/li>\n
  3. Keep family business private. <\/strong>Resist sharing too much about your family dynamic \u2014 good or bad \u2014 online. Sharing your parenting struggles or posting details about what’s going on with you and your child could cause embarrassment and shame and irreparably harm your relationship.<\/li>\n
  4. Consider a photo purge.<\/strong> With your child\u2019s wellbeing, safety, and privacy in mind \u2014 present and future \u2014 consider going through your social networks and deleting any photos or posts that don\u2019t need to be public.<\/li>\n
  5. Talk to kids about the freedom of expression.\u00a0<\/strong>Every person who logs on to the internet can expect fundamental freedoms, even kids. These include the right to privacy, how our data is shared, and the freedom of expression online. Discuss these points with your children in addition to our collective digital responsibilities such as respect for others, wise posting, downloading legally, citing works properly, and reporting risky behavior or content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When it comes to parenting, many of us are building our wings on the way down, especially when it comes to understanding all the safety implications around data privacy for children. However, slowing down to consider your child\u2019s wellbeing and privacy with every post is a huge step toward creating a better, safer internet for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
