A photograph of a child deserves thought about the adult who will one day inherit its audience.

A picture posted today keeps travelling long after the moment ends, and the child in it will one day be the person who owns that record. They did not choose the audience, the caption or how long it stays up. Sweetness now and embarrassment later can live in the same image, and only one of those is visible from where you stand.

Before you share the next one, ask whether you would be comfortable if a classmate found it in ten years. Keep the ones that would still feel kind. Send the rest privately to the people who love the child.
