Why we post photos of children on social media
Parents want to boast their beautiful baby. Flattering comments increase their self-esteem. Besides, it’s convenient – all the friends and relatives will see the pictures at once. No need to send them to each separately!

Why posting photos of children on social networks is a bad idea
It seems that there is nothing terrible about it. But we have prepared a list of reasons why you should refrain from doing so.
1. The child has the right to privacy
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter forbids her mother from posting photos of her without her consent. And she’s got a point. But how do you ask a young child for permission?
2. Don’t post anything that can cause him or her embarrassment in the future
Not all children want to become famous, even if their mom is a blogger. It is similar to the aforementioned reason: everyone has the right to privacy. Perhaps you find potty training amusing. But when your child grows up, he or she will definitely not be happy about this video online.
3. Don’t post photos near your home, school, and hobby groups
You should not take photos near the school to post on social media. Also don’t show your location. Strangers can use this information for their own purposes.

The only way to reduce the risks of your child’s info getting on the internet is not to spread it.
Tell your family and friends about this problem. Children should have the right to privacy. Don’t put their lives at risk!
