Am I Sharenting?: The Dangers of Oversharing Online
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Posting photos of your kids feels harmless—but what if there’s more at stake than we realize? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about “sharenting,” why we do it, and how to know if we’ve gone too far.
Why This Matters
How dads share their kids’ lives online shapes their children’s privacy, identity, and future relationship with social media.
Key Takeaways
• “Sharenting” is common—most parents do it—but few stop to consider their true motivation.
• Sharing can build connection and preserve memories, but it can also risk privacy, safety, and future embarrassment.
• Kids are watching how we post, and our habits will shape how they use social media someday.
Practical Tips for Dads
1. Pause before posting and ask: “Why am I sharing this—and who is it really for?”
2. Protect your child’s privacy by limiting identifiable details like location, school, or routines.
3. Involve your kids in conversations about what should and shouldn’t be shared online.
