The article explores the implications of parents taking and sharing digital media of their children, raising concerns about privacy violations and the effects on self-esteem. Notably, with the ease of capturing moments digitally, there's an underlying issue: the motivations behind these actions and their impact on children's understanding of value and meaning. The author critiques the practice of 'sharenting' and emphasizes the need for parents to reflect on how these habits may influence their children’s perceptions of themselves and their worth in a world dominated by social media.
In the digital age, we create vast amounts of media, prompting questions about why we capture our lives and its effects on children’s self-concept.
Parents must be mindful of the impact of sharing online; it not only violates children's privacy but also alters their sense of value in a media-saturated landscape.
