How do you approach using your social media? How do you navigate it if you have kids?

Tara shares about a story she came across years ago:

The story is about a child's experience with their parent posting their pictures and private information about them on Facebook and how it impacted them. This story had such a profound effect on Tara, that it changed how she posts about her own kids on social media. She asks for her kids' consent before sharing any pictures, and at that, shares very few.

Jess shares her approach to posting about her own child on social media. Most pictures she shares include a profile of her child, or images where her face isn't visible at all.

This conversation brings up a few important questions:

- How can we protect our kids' privacy online when they can't properly advocate for themselves?

-What is an invasion of privacy?

-How will the things we post about our kids now, impact them in the future?

-What does over-sharing online look like?

-Is posting in real-time a good and safe idea?
