#Don't Tag Me

Why Sharenting Could Be the Biggest Parenting Mistake of the Digital Age! Social Media Posting and the Digital Footprint You Leave Behind

by J L Sterling

Part of Family and Relationships

Not every scar shows. Some are digital. Some are invisible. Some begin with the swipe of a thumb and a well-meaning caption.

In this expanded paperback edition of #Don't Tag Me, veteran educator and parent J.L. Sterling, B.Ed. brings to light the unseen burden children carry when their lives are shared online without permission. Combining first-hand classroom experience with recent psychological research, this book reveals the hidden ripple effects of parental posting - what starts as love often becomes legacy, and not always the kind intended.

It starts early - before memory, before voice, before consent. Children featured online grow up inside a narrative they didn’t choose. This book explores what that does to identity, boundaries, and trust as they grow.
