It refers to the parents’ activities on SNS such as posting their children’s photos or their activities as parents. The phenomenon of sharing and disclosing information about children on SNS has grown rapidly. Social networking sites such as Instagram are full of information and photos potraying parenthood moments.

The motives which drove these young mothers to share their children photos and information were pride, stay connected with family and friends, receive social support and self actualization as new parents.
