Trading Kids\u2019 Privacy for Likes"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"457\">There was a time when sharing photos of our kids meant pulling out a phone at a family dinner and saying, <em data-start=\"316\" data-end=\"341\">\u201cYou have to see this.\u201d <\/em>Now it means tapping <em data-start=\"365\" data-end=\"371\">post<\/em> and instantly sharing that same moment with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people. That&#8217;s <strong data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"480\">sharenting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"743\">If you\u2019ve never heard the term, don\u2019t worry. You\u2019ve probably done it. We all have. That first newborn photo. The missing-tooth grin. The back-to-school pic with the adorable, too-big backpack. Sharing our kids online feels joyful, normal, and honestly\u2026 kind of expected. But lately, parents are starting to ask a bigger question:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"869\"><em><strong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"869\">Just because we can share, should we?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"898\">What Is Sharenting?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1032\"><strong data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"914\">Sharenting<\/strong> is the act of parents or caregivers sharing photos, videos, stories, or personal details about their children online. Sometimes it\u2019s sweet or it\u2019s funny, and it&#8217;s often deeply relatable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1314\">While our intentions are almost always good, our kids don\u2019t get a say. Their digital footprint starts long before they understand what the internet even is.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1385\">Why Sharenting Is Suddenly a Hot Topic<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1632\">Conversations around sharenting have ramped up fast, even in the Mabel&#8217;s Labels office, we&#8217;ve often chatted about how we feel torn about it. Parenting groups, media outlets, and even lawmakers are questioning how much sharing is too much, and whether emojis, blurring faces, or hiding names actually protect kids\u2019 privacy?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1659\">What\u2019s driving the sudden shift in which so many parents are questioning whether to share their kids online?<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1915\">\n<li data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1716\">\n<p data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1716\">Increased awareness of digital identity and consent<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1771\">\n<p data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"1771\">Concerns about data privacy and facial recognition<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1835\">\n<p data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"1835\">Kids growing up and saying, \u201cI wish you hadn\u2019t posted that!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1915\">\n<p data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1915\">Parents realizing the internet never forgets, even when posts feel harmless.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"2040\">It\u2019s not about shame or guilt. It\u2019s about awareness. And that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.security.org\/digital-safety\/parenting-social-media-report\/\">conversation is starting to resonate with parents<\/a> everywhere.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2087\">The Emotional Tug-of-War Parents Feel<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2150\">Here\u2019s the thing. Sharenting isn\u2019t just about posting photos. It\u2019s about connection. Many parents, especially those in the thick of early parenthood, share online to stay connected with family far away, or feel less alone during hard parenting seasons.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s fun to celebrate milestones that feel huge at the time and is a nice way to document memories we don\u2019t want to forget. And all that matters. But, at the same time, there\u2019s a growing discomfort bubbling under the surface. A quiet voice has been popping up lately that asks:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2680\">\n<li data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2607\">\n<p data-start=\"2565\" data-end=\"2607\">Would my child want this online forever?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2608\" data-end=\"2649\">\n<p data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2649\">Am I sharing this for them or for me?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2650\" data-end=\"2680\">\n<p data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2680\">Who will actually see this?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s be honest: are we seeking connection, or a hit of dopamine?<\/h3>\n<p>That&#8217;s the piece we don\u2019t always like to admit. When we post photos of our kids, and they get likes, hearts, and comments, our brains get a little dopamine hit too. It feels validating.<\/p>\n<p>The question worth gently asking is whether we\u2019re sharing moments for our kids, or whether we\u2019re sometimes using those moments to fuel our own need for approval.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2764\" data-end=\"2814\">Do Emojis and Face Blurs Actually Protect Kids?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2816\" data-end=\"2949\">Blurring kids&#8217; faces felt like the safety net. We get the best of both worlds; we can share our kids and what&#8217;s happening in their lives, but still keep their identity private.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2816\" data-end=\"2949\">One of the biggest debates right now is whether covering kids\u2019 faces with emojis or blurring their features actually keeps them safe. Covering a child\u2019s face with an emoji can feel protective, but it may not be the full solution we think it is.<\/p>\n<p>AI technology is advancing quickly, and we&#8217;re hearing that even obscured images can still be analyzed, combined, or interpreted when paired with other information online.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond just facial recognition, it\u2019s the bigger picture that matters. A visible school name on their uniform, the front of a house in the background, a playground location, a birthday post, or a team jersey can all add up. Individually, they seem harmless. Together, they can quietly tell the story of a child\u2019s life online.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3092\">\n<li data-start=\"3137\" data-end=\"3209\">\n<p data-start=\"3139\" data-end=\"3209\">Context still reveals a lot, including names, schools, and locations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3210\" data-end=\"3249\">\n<p data-start=\"3212\" data-end=\"3249\">Photos can still be saved or share<span style=\"color: #333333;\">d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3250\" data-end=\"3322\">\n<p data-start=\"3252\" data-end=\"3322\">Children may still feel exposed later, even without their face shown<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3324\" data-end=\"3416\">In other words, it\u2019s not a perfect solution, but it is a step toward being more intentional. And for many parents, intention is the real shift happening here.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3490\" data-end=\"3529\">Whose Story Is It?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3531\" data-end=\"3594\">At its core, sharenting forces us to confront something bigger: <em>Who owns a kid\u2019s story?<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3627\" data-end=\"3811\">As parents, we\u2019re the keepers of our kids\u2019 early memories. But those stories eventually become theirs. One day, they\u2019ll be old enough to see what was shared and form opinions about it. Some kids won\u2019t care at all. But others might feel embarrassed, exposed, or misunderstood. And we won\u2019t know which one our child will be until much later.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3973\" data-end=\"4016\">What Thoughtful Sharenting Can Look Like<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4018\" data-end=\"4137\">There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all approach, but many parents are shifting from automatic sharing to intentional sharing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4139\" data-end=\"4155\">That might mean:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4156\" data-end=\"4394\">\n<li data-start=\"4156\" data-end=\"4193\">\n<p data-start=\"4158\" data-end=\"4193\">Sharing milestones, never meltdowns<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4247\" data-end=\"4304\">\n<p data-start=\"4249\" data-end=\"4304\">Being mindful of names, locations, and school details<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4305\" data-end=\"4353\">\n<p data-start=\"4307\" data-end=\"4353\">Asking (older) kids for consent before posting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4354\" data-end=\"4394\">\n<p data-start=\"4356\" data-end=\"4394\">Keeping some moments just for family<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4354\" data-end=\"4394\">Always getting permission from other families before posting group photos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"4959\" data-end=\"5004\">The Bottom Line is <em>Awareness\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5006\" data-end=\"5077\">If you\u2019ve shared photos of your kids online, you\u2019re not doing it wrong. If you\u2019ve never shared anything, you\u2019re not doing it better. Sharenting isn\u2019t about drawing a hard line. It\u2019s about being aware that the digital world our kids are growing up in is very different from the one we did.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5298\" data-end=\"5346\">This isn\u2019t about shaming parents who choose to share their kids online. Every family gets to decide what feels right for them. Some parents post freely, some rarely, and most land somewhere in between. The goal is not perfection or policing. It\u2019s awareness. Pausing to ask yourself,<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5516\" data-end=\"5561\"><em><strong data-start=\"5516\" data-end=\"5561\">\u201cWill my child thank me for this later?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5563\" data-end=\"5659\">If the answer feels good, post away. If it doesn\u2019t, it\u2019s okay to keep some moments just yours.<br \/>\nYou do you. Just with your eyes a little more open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time when sharing photos of our kids meant pulling out a phone at a family dinner and saying, \u201cYou have to see this.\u201d Now it means tapping post and instantly sharing that same moment with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people.
