EP 23: Parenting in the Spotlight

Should children be compensated for their appearances on social media, just like they are for chores? We tackle this provocative question as we explore the intricate ethics of family vlogging. With examples like the LeBrants and Ruby Frankie, the conversation traverses the fine line between sharing genuine family moments and exploiting children for profit. Our discussion encourages you to reflect on the importance of giving children a voice and setting boundaries in the digital age.   In a touching exchange with my son Dre, we delve into his journey navigating social media as a 16-year-old.
