It’s that time of year again in Charlotte, North Carolina, where many parents and kids are buzzing with enthusiasm as the school year kicks off. It’s a moment of joy that often leads to parents reaching for their smartphones to snap those cute “First Day of School” photos. Kids holding up signs with their names and grades has become a beloved tradition. But before you hit the shutter button, it’s essential to think about safety.
Seeing all those adorable photos flood your social media feeds can be heartwarming, can’t it? Those little ones in new clothes, beaming from ear to ear, are just too cute to resist. But while sharing a bit of that joy with friends and family is tempting, it’s crucial to take a step back. You want to make sure that what you’re sharing doesn’t inadvertently put your child at risk.
When preparing for those back-to-school pictures, experts encourage parents to think carefully about the information that will be included in the photo. Common elements that many parents add include age, grade, school name, and sometimes even the child’s full name. As Juliana O’Rork from the Better Business Bureau highlights, “Before you jump on the trend and snap a similar picture of your little one, read these tips and be cautious about what you share.”
Here are a few suggestions to help you keep your little ones safe while celebrating this exciting milestone:
O’Rork emphasizes that the thrill of returning to school shouldn’t overshadow the importance of online safety.
