´óÏó´«Ã½

Have you heard of the term ‘sharenting’? That’s when a parent, caregiver or relative shares content online about their child’s life, such as videos and images.

Psychologist Dr Elaine Kasket says she was a habitual ‘sharent’, chronicling her young daughter’s life on social media. But then at the age of nine, her daughter told her she didn’t like her doing it, so she stopped.

Elaine’s written about ‘sharenting’ and her experiences in a chapter in her new book Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World.

Jessica Creighton spoke to Elaine and her daughter Zoe on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour about the moment Zoe said she didn’t want photos of her shared online.

You can listen to the full discussion on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds - it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 22 September.
