Devorah Heitner’s fantastic new book, “Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World,” sends that clear-eyed message to parents.
Kids know their privacy has been violated if their parents read their texts or post about their private moments on Facebook.
“Too much data can be anxiety-provoking for parents,” she said. “And it’s also weirdly not any data.” Deal honestly with your child, Heitner says, with a focus on helping them make choices with integrity. “We really want to emphasize do no harm,” Heitner said. “Not because your principal might find out. Because we don’t want what we post or say or do to cause harm — to ourselves or to anyone else.”The sexting conversation is actually a consent conversation. Heitner devotes a chapter to sexting, and it’s an eye-opening and important one — why kids do it, how many kids are likely doing it, why our discomfort around it isn’t particularly useful.
