As parents, we share our children online from a place of love, pride and connection… but in a world shaped by social media and AI, are we sharing more than we realise?

This thought-provoking article explores the long-term impact of children growing up with a digital footprint before they can even consent. From privacy and identity to self-worth and online safety, it’s a conversation every parent needs to have.

Are we protecting our children’s memories… or exposing too much of their lives online? 💭

Ever asked your child how school was… and quietly wondered if they actually went to the toilet?

The good news? There are gentle, practical ways to help them feel safe, relaxed, and confident again.

I’ve broken it all down in this parent-to-parent guide — grounded in research, real-life experience, and simple strategies you can start today.
