Using these hashtags well
Tag the activity, not the child
A craft or recipe tag like #craftsforkids finds people looking for ideas. Tags that describe a child's looks invite the wrong attention and do no good.
Consider a private account or close friends
If you want only family to see photos of your children, a private account or a close friends list keeps them there. Hashtags on public posts make them searchable by anyone.
Leave out names, schools and locations
A tag or caption with a child's school, uniform or home area tells strangers where they are. Share events after they have ended.
Think of the account first
Tags matter less than privacy for posts about children. A private account and a short caption do more for safety than any set of tags.
Questions
Is it safe to use hashtags on posts with children?
It is safer to use hashtags that describe the activity or parenting topic, and to keep posts with children's faces private if you prefer. Public hashtags make a post searchable by anyone.
Which hashtags suit a craft or learning post?
Use tags like #craftsforkids or #learnthroughplay. They reach parents and teachers looking for ideas.
Should I avoid tags about how a child looks?
Yes. Tags that rate or show off a child's appearance attract strangers and are not the audience you want.
Is it safe to use hashtags on photos of children?
Tag the activity, not the child, and leave out names, schools and locations. A private account gives you more control over who sees the photo.
What tags suit a craft or art project?
Use the craft, such as origami or painting, and the age range if you wish. These attract parents looking for ideas.
Should parents tag a child's birthday?
A general tag is fine. Avoid the exact date and place, which can help strangers identify a child.
What tags suit rainy-day activities?
Use the activity and the setting, such as indoor games or monsoon crafts. Parents looking for ideas search for exactly this.
