Social media and parenting: How much is too much?
Manage episode 417319828 series 3290909
Many parents usually try to avoid sharing too much information about their kids on social media.
But many parents also want to share cute pictures, funny stories, or their kids’ accomplishments. And online communities can be great places to share stories or trade parenting tips.
It can be tricky to tell where to draw the line — how much is too much? This is especially true as kids get older and start using social media and the internet for themselves.
For this episode of In It, hosts Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek talk about their own experiences with using social media — or not using it — to talk about their kids, and to find support from other parents.
