Children are probably among the most photographed people on earth, yet getting a genuinely good photo of them can feel surprisingly difficult.

Giving a child a phone, tablet, gaming console, or laptop opens up an enormous world of entertainment, education, creativity, and communication. It also creates something children are not naturally equipped to manage on their own: a surprisingly large digital footprint.

Children can move around the internet remarkably quickly.
