[quote=Anonymous]If you have a social media presence for your athlete child, can you share why you have one and if it has benefited you, how?  I know a lot of the older kids who want to play sports in college have one to help with putting themselves out there.  But for those who have them for their younger kids (elementary and middle school for example), is it worth it starting that early?  What would be the point, if any?

I'm not opposed to them and we do regularly post our kids' athletic endeavors on our private social media but that's just for our friends and family.  I think it would be fun for my kids to create their own sports-related videos and post them (they have been nagging me about this) but I'm also anxious about exposing them.  FWIW, one of my kids is the type of kid who I see have social media presence (athletic, talented, intense and driven, likely on college/pro track).  We have strict limits on my kids' exposure to the Internet and the only social media they see is the stuff we show them.  They will also not have cellphones until high school at the earliest so I think this is perhaps a way to ease them into the world of social media and perhaps be a teaching process?  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  [/quote]
