There wasn't as much in that book and in those conversations about what kids post about themselves.
And that was something that parents were still anxious about.
So parents would say to me, like, Oh, I'm really reassured about my kids' screen time.
But what about their reputation?
You know, what about what people can find out about them?
And then as I started researching the ways kids share about themselves, I started to understand that there are other ways that kids are very exposed and surveilled in the digital world and that parents play a role in that too.
sometimes intentionally and sometimes I think we're just kind of drawn into it.
So I started by asking the question that everyone was asking, which is like, what if my middle schooler goes viral for the wrong reason or shares too much about themselves?
And I also ended up wanting to answer some questions that not as many people were asking, which is like,

It's just that so much of the communication is silent now.
And it's so hard to know what's going on with kids.
And I understand the urge.
And I'm not saying there's never a place to even side by side, like look with your child, for example, at their communication, especially if they need social support and coaching.
