Description
Osman Akay presents a 2026 scoping review with bibliometric mapping on sharenting, the habit of parents posting about their children online. Drawing on Web of Science and Scopus, the review gathers work from media studies, child development, law, health, and communication to see how disclosure connects with privacy, autonomy, and digital identity.
Altogether 252 English articles and reviews from 1992 to 2025 met the criteria. Output stayed low for years, then grew after 2016 and rose sharply from 2019. Recurring ideas include consent, boundary control between parent and child, and how a lasting online presence forms before a child can choose it.
