How do I teach my child about digital consent and sharing photos or information online?

Digital consent is an essential modern extension of body autonomy. Teach your child that they should never share photos of others without permission, and that others need their permission too. Explain that once something is posted online, it can be very hard to remove. Role-play scenarios: 'What would you do if a friend posted an embarrassing photo of you?' Establish a family rule that parents will ask before posting children's photos on social media. Discuss that personal information (full name, school, address) should never be shared online without a parent's involvement. Model digital consent yourself by asking before sharing family photos. Consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about your child's online behavior.
