‘Sharenting’: Is it right?

Special Correspondent and Presenter

The term ‘sharenting’ has been used to describe parents who feel the need to share almost every step of their child’s life on social media, without asking them. Some do it for money, some to reach out to friends and family, some are showing-off. The end result may be a generation of children growing up who find much of their private lives have been online for years. And what was cute in childhood may be inappropriate in adulthood. And that may not be healthy.
