Parents exposing children in social media could cause harm in later years, say experts
Early Childhood Education Practitioner Dr Putri Afzan Maria Zulkifli said the impact could be seen during their teenage years.
"In later years, if a child likes to be exposed on social media then there are no issues.
"From a psychological perspective, it is dangerous especially when they enter into their teenage years where they would feel the need to rebel," she said to Sinar Harian.
She advised parents to seek a child's permission before uploading content to social media.
Putri Afzan said if parents do not do so, it would mean they have indirectly breached the rights and privacy of their child.
"As long as we (parents) do not gain permission from our children, we can't expose them on any social media. We breached their rights to privacy because it could affect their future," she said.
Afzan also shared over the culture of developed countries that heavily favours the rights and privacy of children.
"I was in England for almost seven years. They emphasised on the rights and privacy for children.
"Even raising your hand (hitting) your child is not allowed as it could be a police case," she said.
