Should We Post Photos of Our Kids Online?

Note to Self | Jul 12, 2017

There’s David after the dentist. The BBC interview crashers. The Charlie bit my finger kid. That hero girl blanking Snow White. To say nothing of the baby pics in your Facebook feed, kid pics in your Instagram, and the teens in your Snapchat.

Kids are all over the Internet. But… should they be?

This week, we revisit a friendly debate about whether or not to post pics of children. With one of our favorite podcast hosts, Hillary Frank of the Longest Shortest Time.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

Do your parents post pictures of you? Or did they when you were younger? Do you post pictures of your kid?

Let us know. Our team made two surveys—one for parents and guardians, one for teens and young adults. Take just a couple minutes to answer, then share the surveys with your networks. It’s all research for an upcoming episode.
