SETTING BOUNDARIES TO
YOUR ONLINE SELF
• Is this post necessary?
• Is there a real benefit to this post? Is it
funny, warm-hearted, teachable-or am I
just making noise online without
purpose?
3. Have we (as a family or parent/ child) resolved this
issue? An issue that is stillbeing worked out at home,
or one that is either vulnerable or highly
emotional,should not be madepublic.
4. Is it appropriate? Does it stay within the
boundaries of our familyvalues?
5. Will this seem as funny in 5, 10, 15 yrs.? Or is this
post better suited forsharing with a small group of
family members? Or maybe not atall?
