What Is Social Media Sharing Safety for Kids?

Social media sharing safety means teaching children how to post responsibly, protect their personal information, and recognize what’s safe or unsafe to share online. It’s not just about privacy settings — it’s about building good judgment.

Why It Matters

Children often overshare online without understanding long-term consequences.
Online predators and scammers actively look for overshared details like school names, routines, and personal identifiers.
Digital footprints last forever — even deleted content can be saved or screenshotted.
