Digital Parent

Parent Shaming has become the new form of cyberbullying by parents on social media. Daily posts of parents punishing their tweens on social media or by standers taking video of  parental mistakes and uploading them to the internet. The Harambe incident is a perfect example of parent shaming. A quick lack of supervision leads to an incident that caused brutal online attacks across Facebook and Twitter. On this Episode of the Digital Parent Podcast we reach out to Parent Shaming Expert Mercedes Samudio to discuss ways to prevent parent shaming. Mercedes Samudio, LCSW, is a parent coach who helps parents and children communicate with each other, manage emotional trauma, navigate social media and technology together, and develop healthy parent-child relationships. Mercedes started the #EndParentShaming movement as well as coined the term Shame-Proof Parenting – using both to bring awareness to ending parent shame.
