Every photo, funny story, milestone, and parenting moment can now be shared with the world in just a few seconds. But just because we *can* post something about our children, should we? In this episode, we sit down with Leah Plunkett, author of *Sharenthood*, for one of the most thoughtful conversations we've had about raising kids in a digital age. Rather than telling parents what they should or shouldn't post, this conversation invites us to think more intentionally about how we steward our children's stories. Together, we explore what it means to protect not only our children's physical privacy, but also their emotional, spiritual, mental, and digital privacy. We discuss the lasting digital footprints we create for our kids, how to think critically before sharing online, and practical questions every parent can ask before hitting "post." Whether you're someone who shares often or rarely, this episode offers biblical wisdom and thoughtful perspective for navigating social media in a way that honors both our children and the responsibility God has given us as parents. **How to connect with Leah Plunkett:** Follow Leah on Instagram **How to connect with Raising Rock:** Learn more about Raising Rock.
