Dear Editor,

A recent correspondent published in this journal that social media can threaten public health, especially that of young people.1 In addition, it can reflect changes in public psychological status during the Covid-19 pandemic.2 According to our experience as educator practitioners, controlling the use of social media must start with parents. One way is sharenting (share-parenting), an internet practice through Social Networks Sites, that involves parents posting information and other content about their kids on social media.3 The development of sharenting is also triggered by the development of the celebgrams (celebrity endorser Instagram) or mother influencers trend, which ordinary mothers around the world4 followed. The most effective way to understand sharenting is as a complex emotive and intersectional achievement that generates parents as communicative actions within digital social practices.5 Through pros and primarily cons about it, we believe that it is crucial to understand how sharenting affects parents and child development in the real world due to the dual nature of sharenting, which occurs online yet has offline repercussions.
