sharenting

Kids online everywhere

Sharenting is the practice of parents posting about their children on social media—photos, videos, milestones, and personal details.

The term blends *share* and *parenting*.

Critics raise concerns about children's privacy and digital footprint: By the time she's eighteen, her mother's sharenting will have put thousands of photos online without her consent.
