Singapore Parent's Video of Son's Exam Results Sparks 'Sharenting' Debate
A Singaporean parent who blogs about his family has ignited a discussion on "sharenting." This term describes the practice of parents sharing content about their children online. Alex Lee posted a video of his 12-year-old son, Daken, opening his Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results. The PSLE is a major test that determines a student's path to secondary school. The clip has since garnered over 3 million views. The video shows Daken looking at his scores and then being hugged by his father. Lee asks his son, "Not as good as you expected?" Daken agrees with his father's question. The widespread attention on this private family moment raises a pressing question. For parents who document their children's lives online, where does healthy openness end and overexposure begin?
