Parents, Do You Think Before You Post?
Jen Wilkens has a practical reminder for parents (and grandparents) about parenting in our social media age. She reminds us that we are stewards of our children’s stories.
“Maintaining trust in the parent-child relationship should outweigh any other motive for posting. Think before you post. Let everything you share with those outside your home strengthen the bond of trust you have within it. Tell your story without compromising theirs. Execute well the custodial duty of managing your child’s online identity until its precious owner is ready to assume the job.”
