‘Momfluencers’ can be great to connect with online and help you feel like you’re not alone. However, there comes a point in an influencer’s journey when oversharing can be detrimental to one’s safety and privacy - especially to a child’s.
Exploiting their children on social media platforms, like TikTok and Instagram, for content can cause problems for the child later in life. These problems include mental health, and unawareness of parasocial relationships. In this podcast episode, my guest Sarah Adams and I, discuss why it is unsafe to post your children online and how to change your posting in a way that is protective for them.
Sarah Adams is a married, mom of two who lives in Vancouver Canada. She started her TikTok during the summer of 2021 and discussed the state of “sharenting”, child exploitation and minor safety on social media.
In this episode we discuss:
How social media often builds a false community of mothers.
Why sharing so much on social media can be detrimental and performative.
The definition of exploitive and how it relates to content.
Keeping your brand while taking children out of it.
The messages that being on social media 24/7 sends to our children.
Actionable steps that can be taken to stop the culture of ‘sharenting’.
