"Sharenting," the practice of parents sharing their children's lives on social media without their explicit consent, has sparked concerns about children's privacy and autonomy. This study employs Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory to explore its impacts on children's development, privacy awareness, and self-concept as they transition from middle childhood to adolescence. Using qualitative case study methodology, the research delves into how parental sharing practices influence children's perceptions of privacy and identity formation. By examining the dynamics of privacy negotiation within families, the study aims to inform responsible parenting guidelines that uphold children's digital rights. The findings seek to deepen our understanding of how parental sharing behaviors shape children's well-being, shedding light on the complexities of sharenting in contemporary society.
