31、esponding letter on answer sheet 2.do parents invade children s privacy when they post photos online.a when katlyn burbidge s son was 6 years old, he was performing some ridiculous song and dance typical of a first-grader. but after she snapped a photo and started using her phone, heasked her a seri

32、ous question:“ are you going to post that online.” she laughed and answered,i think i will.” what he said next stopped her.“ can you not.”b that s when it dawned on her: she had been posting photos of him online without asking his permission.“ we re big advocates of bodily autonomy and not forcing h

33、im to hug or kiss people unless he wants to, but it never occurred to me that i should ask his permission to postphotos of him online,” says burbidge, a mom of two in wakefield, massachusetts.“ now whepost a photo of him online, i show him the photo and get his okay.”c when her 8-month-old is 3 or 4

34、 years old, she plans to start asking him in an age-appropriate way,“ do you want other people to see this.” that s precisely the approach that two researchers advocated before a room of pediatricians 兒科醫(yī)生 last week at the americanacademy of pediatrics meeting, when they discussed the 21st century c

35、hallenge of“ sharenti new term for parents online sharing about their children.“ as advocates of children s believe that children should have a voice about what information is shared about them if possible,says stacey steinberg, a legal skills professor at the university of florida levin college of

36、law in gainesville.d whether it s ensuring that your child isn t bullied over something you post, that theiridentity isn t digitally“ kidnapped” , or that their photos don t end up on a half dozen child pornography 色情 sites, as one australian mom discovered, parents and pediatricians areincreasingly

37、 aware of the importance of protecting children s digital presence. steinberg and bahareh keith, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the university of florida college ofmedicine, say most children will likely never experience problems related to what their parentsshare, but a tension still exist

38、s between parents rights to share their experiences and their children s rights to privacy.e “ we re in no way trying to silence parents voices,” steinberg says.“ at the sa we recognize that children might have an interest in entering adulthood free to create their owndigital footprint.” they cited

39、a study presented earlier this year of 249 pairs of parents and theirchildren in which twice as many children as parents wanted rules on what parents could share.“ the parents said, we don t need rules we re fine, and the children said, our par rules,” keith says.“ the children wanted autonomy about

40、 this issue and were worried about theirparents sharing information about them.”f although the american academy of pediatrics offers guidelines recommending thatparents model appropriate social media use for their children, it does not explicitly discussoversharing by parents.“ i think this is a ver

41、y legitimate concern, and i appreciate their drawing our attention to it,” david hill, a father of five, says. he sees a role for pediatricians to talk withparents about this, but believes the messaging must extend far beyond pediatricians office look forward to seeing researchers expand our underst

42、anding of the issue so we can translate itinto effective education and policy,” he says.g there s been little research on the topic, steinberg wrote in a law article about this issue. while states could pass laws related to sharing information about children online, steinberg feels parents themselve

43、s are generally best suited to make these decisions for their families.didn t want to create any unnecessary panic, we did find some concerns that were troublesome,and we thought that parents or at least physicians should be aware of those potential risks, steinberg says. they include photos repurpo

44、sed for inappropriate or illegal means, identity theft, embarrassment, bullying by peers or digital kidnapping.h but that s the negative side, with risks that must be balanced against the benefits ofsharing. steinberg pointed out that parental sharing on social media helps build communities,connect

45、spread-out families, provide support and raise awareness around important social issues for which parents might be their children s only voice.i a c.s. mott survey found among the 56 percent of mothers and 34 percent of fathers who discussed parenting on social media, 72 percent of them said sharing

46、 made them feel less alone, and nearly as many said sharing helped them worry less and gave them advice from other parents.the most common topics they discussed included kids sleep, nutrition, discipline, behaviorproblems and day care and preschool.j “ there s this peer-to-peer nature of health care

48、ldren s hospital, where s about her own parenting journey to help other parents.“ they re getting nurtured by peoplethey ve already selected that they trust,” she says.k “ how do we weigh the risks, how do we think about the benefits, and how do wealleviate the risks.” she says.“ those are the quest

49、ions we need to ask ourselves, and everyone can have a different answer.”l some parents find the best route for them is not to share at all. bridget o hanlohusband, who live in cleveland, decided before their daughter was born that they would not posther photos online. when a few family members did

50、post pictures, o hanlon and her husband made their wishes clear.“ it s been hard not to share pictures of her because people always want to know how babies and toddlers 學(xué)走路的孩子 are doing and to see pictures, but we made thedecision to have social media while she did not,” o hanlon said. similarly, al

51、ison jamison of new york decided with her husband that their child had a right to their own online identity. theydid use an invitation-only photo sharing platform so that friends and family, including those faraway, could see the photos, but they stood firm, simply refusing to put their child s pho

52、other social media platforms.m “ for most families, it s a journey. sometimes it goes wrong, but most of the time itdoesn t, ” says swanson, who recommends starting to ask children permission to post narratives or photos around ages 6 to 8.“ we ll learn more and more what our tolerance is. we can as

53、k our kidsto help us learn as a society what s okay and what s not.”n indeed, that learning process goes both ways. bria dunham, a mother in somerville, massachusetts, was so excited to watch a moment of brotherly bonding while her first-grader and baby took a bath together that she snapped a few ph

54、otos. but when she considered posting themonline, she took the perspective of her son: how would he feel if his classmates parents sphotos of him chest-up in the bathtub.“ it made me think about how i m teaching him to have ownership of his own body and how what is shared today endures into the futu

55、re,” dunham s “ so i kept the pictures to myself and accepted this as one more step in supporting his increasingautonomy.”36. steinberg argued parental sharing online can be beneficial.37. according to an expert, when children reach school age, they can help their parents learn what can and cannot b
