A compromising image, for example, could lead to, or be part of, a bullying situation. On the other hand, sharing health data could have future consequences. Despite this, posts about minors are frequently shared without their consent, a phenomenon that has skyrocketed in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>This exposure on social media could also have psychological consequences for minors, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0213616325000060?via%3Dihub\">some<\/a>\u00a0mental health professionals.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Sharenting<\/em>\u00a0and self-image<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>The importance placed on image or success when creating content about minors can impact how they perceive themselves and their surroundings. In these cases, the child is often aware that their image is being shared and, therefore, judged by others, which can have a particular impact on someone whose self-concept and critical thinking are still in the making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Furthermore, if the image is previously edited, the message conveyed can be understood as: &#8220;Just the way you are isn&#8217;t enough to be accepted; your image must be modified to be liked.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10567-022-00404-5\"><span>These learnings<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0, which in\u00a0<\/span><em><span>sharenting<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0are fostered by the child&#8217;s environment, influence how the person perceives themselves and compares themselves to others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The commodification of minors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>On the other hand, when social media content is related to minors,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/10775595231211616\"><span>it has a greater dissemination<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0. This sometimes encourages caregivers to share information, seeking greater visibility and direct or indirect benefits. This leads to the\u00a0<\/span><em><span>commercialization<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0of the child&#8217;s image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What&#8217;s more, the impact increases if the information includes\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/10775595231211616\"><span>compromising images or images of the child in distress<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0. Here, not only is the digital footprint nourished, but the caregiver may even create artificial situations to record them in unpleasant situations (for example, creating videos in which they are humiliated).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In some cases, when children are suffering, instead of responding to their discomfort in a way that helps them regulate their emotions, they are recorded, fostering dangerous learning about how to manage emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Distrust in your reference figure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>The dynamics surrounding\u00a0<\/span><em><span>sharenting<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0also influence the relationship between the child and their caregivers.

In extreme cases, children may begin to doubt whether an outing is motivated by a desire to enjoy themselves together or a need to generate\u00a0<\/span><em><span>likes<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0, or even whether a gift is solely the result of a collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Likewise, this practice calls into question the limits of one&#8217;s own privacy and of one&#8217;s relationship with the caregiver: if, as a child, I share a very personal experience with you, or if, as a student, I write you a letter that ends up being public, what part of myself can I confide in you? What should I stop sharing about myself with others?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shared responsibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>Sharenting\u00a0can take the exposure of minors to the extreme, monetizing it, seeking impact and followers. But it doesn&#8217;t have to go that far: a single image provides information about locations, ages, etc. Furthermore, the\u00a0<\/span><em><span>photograph\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/por-que-compartir-fotos-de-ninos-en-internet-tiene-muchos-riesgos-120399\"><span>itself<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0can be used for malicious purposes. Therefore, as professionals, we must recommend avoiding sharing information about minors on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As families, let&#8217;s try\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/mama-por-favor-puedes-borrar-esa-foto-mia-de-tu-instagram-237153\"><span>not to upload images of our children<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0to any social media platform, and if we do, it should always be done consciously, thoughtfully, with consent, and responsibly. Especially now, in the summer, we can&#8217;t help but point out the potential risks of sharing images or videos of children on beaches or at pools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Remember that this includes WhatsApp profile photos, a network where we have contacts we haven&#8217;t spoken to in years, or with whom we don&#8217;t trust, or who are complete strangers. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to check your settings or avoid posting images of minors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As educators, we should not upload photographs of students to our social media, either personally or as\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/142961839\/Menores_en_redes_sociales\"><span>educational centers<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0. Even if we have parental permission, we should find other ways to communicate our activities privately or without exposing students. After all, sharing classroom or school experiences on social media that includes the identification of minors does not serve any educational or pedagogical purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, as social media users, let&#8217;s try not to spread the word, share, comment on, or\u00a0<\/span><em><span>like<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0videos, images, or information related to minors.
