Social Media + Kids = ???

We are the first generation to really have to wrestle with this as we were the ones in jr. high / high school when social media even came about to give us access to each other 24/7. We were so naive throwing Facebook albums with 80 pictures from one night out and didn't really think about any lasting impacts as at the time it felt like it was just to your own inner circle. Since then it’s grown into this ginormous beast and we now know the internet is forever...

So, as we have kids, it’s a parent's real decision on whether or not you’re going to put your kids online or not. 

We don’t know enough about what the impact of that will be for them to have their childhood on display.

They can’t consent but do we consent for them? 

We may act as their proxy, but eventually we also have to decide what age do we give them access to it themselves?

It’s a topic I have with girlfriends of a “should we, should we not” so I wanted to bring in two other preschool moms and get their takes.

One of my friends, Nia Sanchez Booko, is literally on a reality television show with her family & her twin daughters star as the baby in "Young Sheldon" while another friend, Lauren Mulenos, throws emojis on her children when posting on her stories. I brought them both in to share their POV as we try to determine what's right for our respective families.
