Before you post: five things to check
  • Faces: check everyone, including children in the background.
  • Names: captions, tags, labels, and spoken names.
  • Places: uniforms, street signs, location tags, and file metadata.
  • People: respect your child’s wishes and the other families involved.
  • The saved file: open it and review the whole image or clip.
What is sharenting?

Sharenting means sharing information about your children online: photos, videos, names, or stories from their lives. Even an affectionate post creates a record they did not choose. You can change what you share without defending every earlier decision.

Three ways to share less
Keep it private

Save a memory for your family. Even private messages can be forwarded.

Edit before sharing

Cover faces and remove identifying details. Share the edited copy.

Do not publish

If someone must stay unidentifiable, keep the photo off public feeds.

Face covering reduces visible detail; it does not guarantee anonymity.
