Parents! Please do not post pics of your kids!

Personal story. I have be very clear with the school my daughter is in not to take pictures of her and post them online or in any marketing/promotional stuff. Had to yell at them this week for violating that (again). 🤦🏻‍♂️

Parents post an average of 1,500 photos of their child online before the kid turns five.

First day of school with the school name visible, sports uniforms with team and league info, birthday posts with exact ages. By the time kids are old enough to control their own digital presence, they already have one built by their parents.

Children documented online from birth have no say in the digital footprint they inherit.

Consider what your children would want documented publicly when they're adults. Some families use private channels like shared albums instead of public posts. Others simply don't post children's faces at all.
