As a child, if you’re household was similar to ours, there were no expectations of privacy. The thought that you would be allowed to have personal space of which you could forbid others to invade may have been a dream, but never a reality. Just because this was the way many of us were raised, does it mean it was appropriate?

When we think of a privacy breach, in most cases we’re thinking of corporations like Home Depot, Target, Insurance companies, even airlines that may have let us know via news outlets that someone had gained access to what was supposedly secure data. But what happens when a privacy breach happens in your home?

As humans, not just adults, we all need moments of time dedicated solely to ourselves. We may call it “me tome@ or even self-care. As chi, these terms may not hd applied to these need for slave, but don’t mistake that yo mean children don’t yearn for the same space.

As parents, guardians, caretakers & village members, where is the online drawn between allowing children the respect of personal space and privacy? The immediate response may be that children don’t need privacy. Some may agree. Others may completely disagree. But if we were to ask children, it would be interesting to hear their thoughts.

What makes us afraid of allowing privacy is the fear of the j known. Compounded with access to the entire works via phones & computers, allowing children their privacy may be likened by some to letting them loose into the works unmonitored. A frightening thought! But what are we really afraid of? Is it that our children will misbehave or be at risk of those with bad intentions?

We don’t know if there’s a right or wrong answer. And we’re definitely not here to give parental advice. But the conversation was worth the discussion so we invite you to join in and give us your perspective.

Privacy?

Where to draw the line?
