This number seems enormous — and just right.
A new study found the average parent posts 973 photos of their child on social media before they turn five.
That’s an average of about 195 pictures a year, or approximately one every other day.
Fifty-three percent mostly post pictures to Facebook; 14 percent use Instagram; and 13 percent use Twitter.
The study also found that the majority of parents have no idea what those sites or even other people might be legally allowed to do with those photos.
Fourty-six percent say they’ve only checked the privacy settings on Facebook and other social networks once or twice, and 17 percent have never checked at all.
