Parent Tips: A Guide to Responsible Sharing of Your Kids’ Photos

We’ve proudly partnered with Safe on Social this year and asked Founder and CEO, Kirra Pendergast, to share some tips on a topic that she is seeing a lot of conversation about right now: sharing photos of your children online.

We’re all familiar with the overwhelming urge to share photos of those heart-melting or proud moments of our children online. But wait a minute! Before you rush to hit that “post” button, let’s pause and have a real talk about the social media risks that often slip our minds.

By exercising caution, respecting privacy permissions, and safeguarding against potential risks, we can strike a balance between sharing our children’s moments and protecting their privacy. Ultimately, as parents, we have the power to shape their online presence and create a safe online environment for them.

Topics covered in Guide below include:

• Consider their cybersecurity
• Communicate and Establish Family Rules
• Explore your motivations
• Respecting their privacy
• But what if a school shares their photo online?
• If in Doubt, Leave it Out
