As social media advances, some parenting influencers have pulled back on posting their kids for fear of their digital footprint and other safety concerns.
The founder of Happy Mum Happy Child, Maria Foy, revealed she's pivoted from her 'mumfluencer' brand and stopped posting her kids as they've gotten older and voiced concern about the consequences.
Foy says kids deserve their privacy - and she doesn't feel comfortable sharing their intimate moments as teenagers.
"Now they're coming up to a point where I don't feel comfortable talking about certain things - even though as a parent, you yearn for that connection...but they deserve that privacy."
