That's precisely the approach that two researchers advocated before a room of pediatricians last week at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting, when they discussed the 21st century challenge of "sharenting," a new term for parents' online sharing about their children. When her 8-month-old is 3 or 4 years old, she plans to start asking him in an age-appropriate way, "Do you want other people to see this?" I get to approve tags and photos of myself I want posted - why not my child?" "Now when I post photos of him on Facebook, I show him the photo and get his okay. "We're big proponents of bodily autonomy and not forcing him to hug or kiss people unless he wants to, but it never occurred to me that I should ask his permission to post photos of him online," says Burbridge, a mom of two in Wakefield, Mass. That's when it dawned on her: She had been posting photos of him online without asking his permission. She laughed and answered, "Yes, I think I will." What he said next stopped her. But after she snapped a photo and started using her phone, he asked her a serious question: "Are you going to post that to Facebook?" When Katlyn Burbidge's son was 6 years old, he was performing some silly antic typical of a first-grader. Children's photos that parents have posted online have ended up in advertisements and on pornography sites.
