Obviously, you might be setting your children up for a fight they did not choose by
sharenting. CONSEQUENCES In the West, consequences of
sharenting have been felt and it could only be a matter of time before our own "social media babies" follow suit, backed by the law.
But since the rise of social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, the trend of '
sharenting' has become increasingly controversial, with celebrities like Katie Price and Victoria Beckham coming under fire for posting pictures of their young children.
She and Bahareh Keith, DO, a pediatrician at the University of Florida, discussed the challenges and risks of "
sharenting"--parents' sharing information and photos of their children online--and pediatricians' role in advising parents and looking out for children's best interests.
Also included are: throw shade, to make a public show of contempt for someone or something, often in a subtle or non-verbal manner;
sharenting, the habitual use of social media to share news and images of one's children; snowflake generation, the young adults of the 2010s, viewed as being less resilient and more prone to taking offence than previous generations; dude food, junk food such as hot dogs, burgers, etc considered particularly appealing to men; uberization, the adoption of a business model in which services are offered on demand through direct contact between a customer and supplier, usually via mobile technology; and JOMO, the joy of missing out: pleasure gained from enjoying one's current activities without worrying that other people are having more fun.
But what are the risks of '
sharenting' - posting pictures and information about our children online?
Parents who share details of their children's lives on social media are engaging in something dubbed "
sharenting." And while so-called sharents report that doing so provides an important resource for advice and an outlet for commiseration, "some are concerned that over-sharing may pose safety and privacy risks for their children," says University of Michigan researcher Sarah J.
I've talked previously about the concept of '
sharenting', where parents share content about their children online, creating a digital footprint for them that they have no control over.
And three out of four people surveyed said that this "
sharenting" is boring for other online users.
But the politics of
sharenting -- whether or not to upload images of your children online, particularly before their being old enough to consent to it -- are becoming increasingly complicated, not least given a new report, which says that, by the age of 13, the average child has more than 1,000 pictures of themselves on the internet.
