This article advises parents on managing children’s selfie posting and social media use, outlining risks such as digital permanence, AI-driven misuse of images (e.g., “nudifier” tools), grooming, sextortion, cyberbullying, identity exposure, and potential mental health impacts. It recommends open communication, clear rules on sensitive content, strong privacy settings (locked profiles, disabled geolocation, tag approvals), selective followers, periodic “digital spring cleaning,” and balanced monitoring—emphasizing education, empathy, and parental role-modeling over prohibition.
