"STOP Posting Your Kids Online" Protecting Children on Social Media | A Millennial Mind
Do you post pictures of your kids online? Well, children's therapist and cyber trauma expert, Catherine Knibbs, is here to tell you why you shouldn't (even if you're on a private account!)
In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, we’re talking about the hidden dangers of posting kids online, the reality of online predators, and why the usual rules around screen time and social media safety don’t really apply to modern-day children anymore. Catherine shares what’s actually happening to kids’ brains when they grow up in a digital world, how predators think, and why parents often get protecting kids online completely wrong (without even realising it).
It’s not about fear or banning tech; it’s about learning how to raise kids who can thrive both online and offline. And honestly, some of this blew my mind. Let me know what you think in the comments!
