🧒 Raising children (tarbiyah) · #206

How much should I share about my child's life online, thinking of her future?

Your child will grow into a person who may not be comfortable with the digital footprint you leave about her, so be careful on her behalf. Avoid sharing photos that compromise her dignity or her aurat, embarrassing moments, or details that let bad people identify her location. Ask yourself: is this post for my child, or for attention for myself? When your child is old enough, ask her permission before posting about her. Check privacy settings so that content is not exposed to strangers. Keep precious memories private within the family. Protecting your child's dignity and safety outweighs the wish to collect likes and praise. See the family's digital life.
