What is *Growing Up in Public* by Devorah Heitner about?

*Growing Up in Public* provides strategies for parents to help tweens/teens navigate digital identity, privacy, and reputation in a hyper-connected world. It emphasizes mentorship over surveillance, addressing social media pressures, "sharenting," and fostering trust. The book blends research with practical advice to help families balance online engagement with healthy boundaries.

Who should read *Growing Up in Public*?

Parents, educators, and caregivers of adolescents (ages 8–18) facing digital challenges like social media use, online identity formation, or privacy concerns. It’s also valuable for professionals working with youth seeking research-backed approaches to modern parenting in a tech-saturated culture.

Is *Growing Up in Public* worth reading?

Yes—it offers actionable, empathy-driven strategies validated by experts and real-world case studies. Library Journal’s starred review praises its focus on trust-building over fear-based monitoring. It’s particularly relevant for families navigating apps like TikTok or grappling with screen-time debates.

How does *Growing Up in Public* address social media's impact on mental health?

Heitner argues social media intensifies existing struggles (e.g., self-esteem, anxiety) but isn’t inherently harmful. She advises tracking behavior changes (like withdrawal) rather than invasive monitoring, and fostering open dialogues about online experiences.

What is "sharenting," and how does the book handle it?

Sharenting refers to parents oversharing kids’ lives online. The book urges families to seek children’s consent before posting, clean up past overshares, and model mindful digital footprints to respect kids’ autonomy.

How does Heitner’s approach differ from strict screen-time limits?

She prioritizes mentoring over restrictive rules, encouraging collaborative boundary-setting. For example, discussing *why* certain content is shared rather than banning apps outright. This builds critical thinking and self-regulation.

Does *Growing Up in Public* discuss neurodiverse or LGBTQ+ youth?

Yes—it addresses unique challenges faced by neurodivergent and queer teens online, such as heightened vulnerability to comparison or identity-based harassment. Heitner advocates tailored support for marginalized groups.

What are key strategies for managing school apps like ClassDojo?

The book critiques grading apps for exacerbating anxiety in neurodiverse students. Recommendations include disabling real-time notifications and advocating for school policies that reduce over-surveillance.

When Your Child's Bedroom Has a Window to the World

00:00

A teenager sits at her desk, headphones on, scrolling through her phone. To her parents, she looks like any modern teen-absorbed, perhaps too absorbed, in her digital life. But here's what they can't see: the anxiety coursing through her as she calculates whether to delete last week's post that only got 47 likes. The careful editing of a comment to a friend, knowing her mom might read it later. The weight of performing an identity that feels increasingly distant from who she actually is. This is the reality of growing up today-an existence where privacy has become a quaint relic of the past, where every misstep can be screenshot and weaponized, where the line between protection and surveillance has blurred beyond recognition. We've created a world where children must develop authentic selves while living in a digital fishbowl, constantly observed by parents, schools, peers, and algorithms that never forget.
