Cross Country Checkup1:51:572-Topic Sunday: How much do you share about your kids online? What was it like for you to share your cancer diagnosis?
Social media has become the digital scrapbook of children's everyday lives and an important source of connection for parents. But 20 years after the launch of Facebook, kids are now grappling with the fact so much of their lives is documented online.

Last year, France passed a law banning parents from sharing photos of their kids without permission. Privacy experts warn there are risks to sharing kids' information online, and the sheer volume of images & videos has grown dramatically over the pandemic. 

This Sunday, Checkup is asking -- How much do you share about your kids online? Where do you draw the line between your kids' public and private life?

And in our second hour...with news of Princess Catherine's Cancer Diagnosis we're asking....What was it like for you to share your cancer diagnosis? What helped you and your family cope?

Our guest will be Dr. Arden Corter, a psychologist who works with the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook Hospital.
