We often treat children's privacy as though it's optional, or even a tool that can be used for control.

If they're young enough, we assume it's okay to ask personal questions, read over their shoulder, share stories about them, ask them to perform for visitors, explain why they're upset, have their bedrooms entered without asking, to have every drawing, diary, text message, or conversation treated as public.

But why? We don't treat adult privacy that way.

Privacy isn't something children earn by being old enough. Privacy isn't a privilege. It's not something adults should be able to take away as punishment.

Children deserve ownership over their own stories, their own thoughts, their own belongings, and the right to decide what they share and with whom.
