Why we keep our kids private online | Ep. 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- We've been asked so many times why we have chosen not to show our kids faces online. In this episode, we discuss it. There's more to talk about, so we'll probably revisit this topic. But for now, we give the main reason we don't show our children online.

I’ve said it before and I will again. You do YOU, and not what others “think you should do”.
This is YOUR family, not ours.
Give the kids a hug!
Protecting your children's privacy is not only your right it's your responsibility.
@@Michael-i8t5c Yes and the best way to protect them and their privacy is keeping them completely off social media
I don’t blame you. We live in a very crazy world. Keep them protected. We all know they are mini Jinger’s. ❤
@@User79344 but they are not really protecting them, everyone knows where they live and they are still putting them on public display. Keeping them protected is keeping them completely off social media and not sharing personal information about them.
@@blueangels8103people do it to all different levels. Some influencers barely let you know they have kids, some show them with faces blurred, some talk about their kids but never ever show them. It depends on comfortability and what the parents feel called to. There’s not a one-size-fits-all method.
So glad y’all are back!!!
I have noticed some of my friends on social media aren’t posting their kids faces anymore. More so as the children get older and maybe don’t want their parents to show pictures. Because let’s face it, stuff that we as parents or grandparents find cute and adorable, may not be so for the child.
My own adult children don’t post many pictures of my grandkids anymore so I have adopted that as well and don’t post their pictures either and have decided if I want to, I will ask my grandchildren (the older two) if it’s ok and I’ll ask the parents if it’s ok to post the baby. I do miss showing off my grandkids but feel like this is the right thing to do. 😊
thank y’all for sharing your perspective.
My son who is in cyber security, they never put anything about their child on social media, no info, no pics! It is there forever .
I wish more people would keep their kids off. I think you are doing the right thing
@@annettebabcock1244 These people are not doing the right thing, they are still putting them on public display
Other families in your circle need to follow your example. You are being very smart.
Jinger, we know PLENTY about the internet - enough, at least, to know there are creeps lurking to see children. Good for you for maintaining privacy and not using your children for "clicks and views".
Jeremy, let Jinger finish her sentences before you speak. 😉✌️
@@genxis6097 Maintaining what privacy? These people still put their kids on public display and use them for views likes and clicks. Maintaining their privacy is keeping them completely off social media.
Simple reason: The fear of exploitation
People asking these questions to them, forget what her brother is in jail for. People using their children for views on social media are the worse too. People don’t realise how dangerous it is.
@@xoxemaxoxThat’s exactly what I meant, the fear of exploitation
@@xoxemaxox🙄
@@xoxemaxox Knowing what he did should have made them think of keeping their kids completely off social media but instead they rather keep putting them on public display.
@@Barny-26 what’s with the face, it’s true. Some of the bates girls are so bad for it. Jinger and Jill have had the right idea leaving their kids off social media
I definitely understand. The world is insane. And parents exploit their children too. It’s sad.
I respect your decision to protect your children!
@@Derwood4me Keeping them completely off social media is protecting their children but they choose to keep putting them on public display
@@blueangels8103🤐
@@blueangels8103where are they publicly displaying them?
@@christinem.alwaysbelieve On their social accounts and UA-cam
I think it is a blessing & a beautiful thing that u get to make ur own decisions for u & ur family. I was raised Catholic & even though I don't believe in certain things I do believe God thinks that we all should be able to make our decisions for our family NO MATTER WHAT IT IS & WE SHOULD ALL BE ACCEPTING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S DECISIONS. Unfortunately, we live in a society that PICKS & CHOOSES what individual families/mother's can choose for their family. That's why I DON'T pass judgment on other people's decisions they make for themselves or their family, not my business. I just wish everyone else respected my choices & decisions...🤷♀️
I agree with this privacy choice totally
I applaud you for not showing your children’s faces. I only wish you would have that same respect for other children when y’all are in public settings.
I haven't seen other children on J&J's social media except for nieces and nephews which are most likely with the parents' permission.
@@GiaMarie815 They have shown other children’s faces when in public more than once. The most recent I remember is during the July 4th race Felicity did. Again, I absolutely have the upmost respect for them protecting their children but it really seems like they should love the other innocent children enough to care about their safety and their parents wishes also. All children are precious!
You have to have the parents permission to show minors.
@@sharonchastain4743 Yes, you should! But many other children’s faces were shown and I highly doubt they went to those parents to ask permission. Same with previous outings. Again, I like Jinger and Jeremy. I respect their wish to keep their children’s faces private. And I highly doubt they will even read any of these comments. But if they happen to, I sure wish they’d give my original comment some prayers and thought.
I don't blame you.keep your kids protected.there is so much evil in this world. I have been watching since 19 kids and counting. As parents we need to protect our children.
I don’t know if all their documentaries and series are still available to watch but if so it was quite an interesting watch. I’ve seen every episode of their continuing name change series as well as the documentaries from before hand. Initially watching in the early years I never thought about how awful it was what their parents did for money.
❤ My heart goes out to all you Ginger and your siblings. I can't imagine waking up to a news crew in my room. I think you have made the best decision for you and your daughters. I assume they are adorable. However, you are giving them a gift of an innocent, carefree and simple childhood. Blessings to you!
*Jinger* with a *J*
I can't love this enough.
I hate seeing folks kids plastered all over everywhere - where is the privacy and protection for the kiddos when you're sharing them everywhere!
I am happy you guys keep your kids out of the media. I try not to put to much of my own keeps kids in the media.
There are creeps on social media. This is such a good thing to do! I thought it was weird that there were cameras during births...its too graphic and ahould be private!! Even if they blur it out..its sooo weird still.
I don’t think it’s weird. Yhall all are so uptight. Besides, they could have said no to that. 🤷♀️
@@Barny-26 some of the Duggar girls such as Jill have said that they didn’t have much of a choice in allowing their births to be on the show.
@@allyjmjm Jill? Pfft. That’s not true. She had every right to say no to them filming a private moment like that. She’s been brainwashed by Derrick because he wants money. Her book isn’t completely true.
I love that you have decided this as a couple and stand firm on protecting our most valuable resource which is our children, the next generation. The simpler life is for children, the better. They will be adults soon enough and can make those choices for themselves, but in the meantime, it is imperative that we protect and nurture who they are as children. You can never go wrong when erring on the side of caution and restraint.
I post my kids but limited it to milestones, achievements, or small fun things. As they are now older and able to express themselves more, I always ask their permission and make sure they are comfortable with the post and picture. Sometimes they want me to share something they did or achieved, but they don't want themselves pictured, so we post about it in a way to celebrate them without a picture of them. We are careful to make sure if other children happen to be in a post even in the background that they are covered or cropped out. Edited to add if my children come back after a post and change their mind and want it taken down, we do it without question or complaint. We also ask our family to respect these same rules in regards to our children.
I love how you both have truly thought, discussed, and come to what you feel is right for your family and girls. ❤
That's awesome....but unfortunately once it's posted it's never REALLY removed. Maybe give the kids a full week to think about it and do a delayed post. Kids are subjected to so much foolishness these days, it's really admirable that you're willing to ask them first and then go even further to delete posts if they change their minds❤❤❤
@rootelation486 Oh, I know the internet is sadly forever. It's something we have had a serious talk with our kids about as well. I normally only post images without them on the day the actual event or milestone happened. If they want to be in the photos, I wait 2 to 5 days to post in order to keep certain info private. Instead of saying last Thursday, yesterday, or the date, I make it vague. I'll say things like a week or so ago, not too long ago, or a bit ago. I also try not to have background markers or landmarks in photos as well. ❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate your right to privacy with your children. Unfortunately there are many parents that exploit their kids for the purposes of getting income from Facebook & utube.
Yes I agree not having the kids on social media.. crazy world out there with AI ALSO .. I’ve made the decision about no pictures of my grandson on social media any more …😊
Love letting choice and voice for you kids ❤. I love the Masters area home. I don’t think 💭 LA is the same w/o you. We love your adventures in our neighborhood. Truly, people often forget what they have nearby. Thanks. Congrats to speaking your truth and understanding which was and will be a journey.
The kids will learn with time. Education drives decision making.
Many people are on a quest to find a job which fills the soul. I am lucky as a Special Education teacher to have this. Growth of learning and seeing as a witness my students learn is amazing…. My children love careers they and spouses chose.
Could you two explain the volunteer jobs, roles from pastors to chaplains and so much more available. It is amazing to see what may be considered tiny changes but the creator does guide us in our strengths. In theory, I know I could do this w/ o being given a check… the growth is the reward. I’d love to learn your opinions on service and its importance. Congrats on the Masters, I was truly blessed to witness my best friend’s son graduate.
Since you have your children out in the public what would be the consequences if someone took their pictures and posted it? Love you guys. Blessings
You should never ever have to explain why you're keeping your children safe!!!! My children will never put on social media nor was my grandson. The more famous you are the more you need to protect your children from predators and people that are mentally ill and don't realize the harm that they do to others!!!! Adults can make decisions for themselves but they are obligated to keep their children safe and when children become adults they can choose for themselves what the post about themselves but to keep their children off of social media!!! Unfortunately it's a very sick world
@@bailatwerski2951 They keep having to explain themselves because they keep choosing to put their daughters on public display. If they would keep them completely off social media people would stop asking but they are going to keep asking them the same questions over and over again
Love how Jeremy said “like an untested vaccine” 😂❤ God bless y’all! Love watching!
I am a Mema (Grandma) to five kids and shared a lot of the grandkids on Facebook. My grandson is 18 and going to University this month to a Christian University! Facebook was really popular so we quit posting pics about the kids 10 years ago because of the fear of the unknown and the pics are there forever! We have pics and videos and know the people that see them! That is important to us!
I give you both props!!!! BEST decision you could have ever made. Wish more parents would follow suit
Thanks for sharing. I’d love to hear you both share how you make time for the Lord daily with a young family.
Preach Jeremy preach! So many people attack their parents, I have even succumb to being angry at my parents for my childhood but isn’t of God. That is of the modern world. I respect my parents knowing they are fallen sinners like myself and I hope my children can give me grace with my parenting as well.
I am 51 yrs old, this is not a known trend at least in my age range. We didn't grow up in the era of social media. If someone wanted to know what was going on with my kids or even I you would call check up. I still hold this same principle to this day. My kids have never been put on social media and I will continue to do so even when I have grands. Social media for me and will continue to be is where I can encourage someone who may not know about God or continue to support my brothers and sisters in Christ. Communication is important to me and social media is not communicating. Thank you for sharing
I applaud you
Who is filming this? The camera is mostly on Jeremy. Why?
He thinks he’s living the high life off his wife,
He’s so arrogant and overbearing
Totally respect your decision about keeping your children off social media, Jinger you are more qualified on this than most having grown up in the public eye, Blessings to you both, what a wonderful witness of Godly discernment and wisdom ❤
I think it’s wonderful that you’re giving your kids privacy and not forcing the cameras on them.
I absolutely respect your decision. I know of people who have chosen to keep their children off social media completely & some only share photos of their children on specific apps where only select people are able to access those images. It's up to the individual parents what they want to do, but I think your choice is right in allowing the girls to choose if they want to share their lives with others when they are old enough to make that choice.
Bravo on making the decision you did!! I'm not sure if you are aware of the Dad Challenge Podcast on UA-cam, but he has addressed the issue of child exploitation and family vloggers for quite some time now. There are opinions about his approach, but I appreciate his stance and the hard work he does to bring awareness to this controversial subject. He recently did a video where he interviewed a Clinical Forensic Psychologist and the ramifications of posting children on the internet. Blessings 🙏
@@karolrust2300 He has mentions the Duggars before because they exploited their kids for years and many continue on the same path and exploting their own kids but covering up their faces or showing the back of their doesn't give much privacy either because we live in a world of technology and technology is constantly changing and technology can find out who these kids are.
Protecting your kids is keeping them completely off social not keep putting them on public display
I chose to keep pics of my kids off social media, they are adults now and can make their own choices now. At one point I asked a friend who was taking pics of an outing we were doing to not post pics of my kids, she probably thought I was weird but she respected my feelings enough to comply with my request.
Never post anything about Kids on social media
I think God has given you a lovely family and it’s your job to protect them. It’s totally your decision to keep them safe. Great job.
One suggestion I have for future podcasts is to have a microphone holder…the noise is distracting
Agreed!
Yes, Jeremy unscrewing and screwing the mic knobs in and out is super loud and distracting 😬
It's good that you speak on this topic. Thank you. Children should have options by the time they're adults. God bless in Jesus name!
I really enjoyed watching you and your family grow up on tv but also respect your decision to not let your kids be on tv. You have to keep your family safe. Love you all and wish you the best. Really love seeing your videos.😊❤
God is working all things for good. I appreciate your pov! ❤❤
Great perspective. I would like to hear y'all's thoughts on family planning, family size, and how you're thinking about the future of your family. I heard Jinger once say that it's okay to *manage* the blessing of children--it helped me so much because I feel pressure to have more kids than my husband or I really would like to--would love y'all to expand on that thought.
Thank you for your comments on God's Sovereignty. We are missionaries and our kids have grown up in the middle of nowhere and they feel like victims of their parents ministry. Loneliness, friends coming and going. Not having things to do or people to hang out with. I feel they have had such a rich life. I've appreciated your comments because I as the parent feel like I've failed. But your comments encouraged me.
I have four kids ages 2,4,13,&17. After letting my oldest enter the world of social media at the age of 13 I have decided to not let the others have social media until they are 18 and can pay for their own cell phone service. The world is crazy!
I think you guys have thought the social media thing through. I know you have prayed about it as well. I support and respect your decision ❤
I respect your decision to not show your kids. So many people are looking at your life and your kids faces would be plastered on every UA-cam channel that follows your family. Let the kids choose when and if they want to be public.
Thank y'all for sharing your reasoning!
I would like to know y'all's thoughts about gen z. What advice would you give a Christian in that generation?
Topic Request:
A Q&A Episode 😊
I think you’re doing exactly the right thing not showing your kids on social media. There are that many evil people out there that use these young children in extremely inappropriate ways. You don’t need to explain why you don’t want to show your children faces
I agree with your choice one hundred percent
Pausing only 0:22 seconds in😂. That trim work is amazing y'all!! I love it!! Now onto the show '😂❤
So much respect for keeping your kids private.
In the early days of facebook, because of child trafficking and abductions, etc. My kids asked me not to share my grandkids pictures to all my friends. So, I was able to create a family list that I could share with and select that when I needed to be private with my posts.
I don't blame you guys at all! Do YOU! Keep the girls safe! Love you guys!❤
We don't share our grandkids on fb or social media. We have a private family group that is hidden. We did in the beginning but we seen someone we didnt know share a photo of our grandkids at a park and claimed it was their kids. That was the last time for us, the risk was too high.
Interesting reason , but also simple reason why you don't want your children on social media! They will understand why you kept them private and they probably will be thankful too!
Love you guys. I pray blessing for your family.
Please talk about your experiences with school growing up, and how you want your children's education to look like.
They have explained this so many times now ! Accept it already ! Duh !
I respect them for not exploiting their kids like many celebs or non celebs. It can be very scary. I know I am a very private person.
God bless you both and your beautiful girls abundantly always! 🙏📖✝️🙏 Sending hugs from Sweden! ❤🤗🇸🇪
Good move too much happening on the net. Many good minded people want to see your kids growing up like they did with you. Buts it's the people that are not good minded people that are scary.
I highly commend you guys for keeping your children of social media. I’m a 2000 baby, and I would also never give my children unlimited acess to social media as all my friends were once groomed online or by men met online, and it’s just awful
My one month old grand daughter has never had a picture on social media. My daughter is very much against that.
That's awesome!! I'm off of fb and social media..I don't like my families photos online..back in the day..pictures were in photo albums and on our own private walls for a reason
Hey guys! I would love to hear you all talk about marriage and some things that have major marriage, stronger, some things that you all have had to work through with regard to your marriage, and just a little bit about what your expectations were versus the realities of marriage. I just don’t know that many Christians talk candidly about that. Thank you.
My take: these are children and you don’t have answer to anyone. So keep it moving.
we only got to see your first daughter on tv never your 2nd kid. but i understand why you don't show them. but what i hate is you show them but you cover there faces with a emote yet if someone wanted to do something to your kid they don't need there face to know what they look like to find and do. cause they see there body and there hair. but i hope you stil film your kids doing fun stuff for just you all to enjoy and not miss out on having. you all take care and do what you think is right for you all. :) thanks for telling us why you choice to do so after being on tv for a while.
Evie was only in the birth special, not after that
@@reetayoung uh?
Understanding your decision for privacy, brings up the question why show them at all. People don’t need to see the back of their heads or bodies.
I'm so glad yall honor your kids privacy. I think there are too many predators and such out there❤
So glad you are back !
As much as I would love to see your children I understand you wanting to keep them safe. I totally agree with you. As for future podcasts I still would love to know more about the Duggars. I miss seeing them on the show. Also do you keep in contact with the Bates?
Smart move J&J. Human trafficking is still happening. By not showing your children, it helps to protect them. Why do so many advertise their children?
I think you’re making too big a deal of it. I’ve never heard of any kids, whose parents show them on their blogs, being harmed or kidnapped or ANYTHING! Look at the Duggar and Bates kids AND grandkids! They’re all perfectly fine. Gee whiz.
Protecting them is keeping them completely off social media
@@blueangels8103 🙄
@@Barny-26watch josh dad challenge podcast and you’ll understand
@@Barny-26 So…just because you haven’t heard of anything bad happening means it doesn’t happen? If only the world worked like that!
What about all the child porn her own brother downloaded? Do you think those children willingly engaged in it? Her brother consumed this stuff and someone made it for him to easily find and download. So the Duggars’ kids and grandkids are NOT all perfectly fine!
I would do the same thing but goodness I remember Falicity's cheekers! She was and I'm sure still is a cutie pie!
First of all, you have every right to raise your children the way you want them to be raised. it’s nobody else’s business. This is between you and God..
Curious, as I’m sure other fans are… in light of recently released photos of your eldest sister that seem rather staged… How was your engagement promoted through the media? And, what if anything, did you guys receive for it? Was there any sort of financial benefit? Obviously, someone prospered off your televised engagement and wedding. When offers came in… did they come to you guys or someone else? Where did the money go?
Are you guys going to do anymore lives??
Just something I would love you & Jinger to discuss in a podcast….what are your thoughts on.The Chosen One song written by Natasha Owens idolizing Trump instead of Jesus?
I love that Jeremy wants to preach. I love his heart for jesus.I love ginger's heart for jesus. They love Jesus so much. They know there is no blame game.
With all the sick individuals I do not blame you for not posting them.
It is like the situation comedies of the old days. The children were as good as they were brought up. They certainly blessed us all and glad they were allowed to become comfortable with the cameras.Ron howard had amazing parents but some like patty duke did not.
It's amazing on Instagram how many people are mad that they hide their kids faces and Jill as well...
I don't blame them for protecting their girls how they see fit but what does bother me is Why are they sitting so far apart from one another. That is just weird to me. Very odd!
Yeah… yeah, yeah : Jinger voice
It's a shame our world is evil and we have to worry about that
Good to see the both of you again. When does Jeremy plan to finish his phd program.
?
I understand that you dont want to show your shildren ❤
Well the way I see it is you are the parents and above all it is your decision .
probably get asked so much cause we saw Felicity when she was tiny, I agree with you though, they didn't ask for this so keep them off, I like how you show their sisterly love by photos of them from behind. I dislike when celebrities put "stickers" on kids faces.. it seems disrespectful and insulting somehow
You’ll are doing amazing job protecting you’ll daughters
I think that it would be more interesting to hear about what they are doing now.
Is this your new home?
Jill is also last few years not showing boys faces
Are you planning to home school?
Love the podcast! Need to work on the microphones. There is a lot of sound from your movements being picked up. At some points very distracting to what you are saying.
It always feels like Jeremy is interviewing Jinger and it is weird.
