Make it personal without making it generic
Let each person choose plain words, colors plus text, gestures, or private messages for yes, ask again, limited sharing, and no image.
Presentation
Give five nested camera-shaped cards labeled take, keep, send, post, and remove, with every choice left open.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The family keeps one small private reference page; no album, display, or shared account is required.
- Skill
- A neutral facilitator distinguishes each permission, protects children's voice within adult safeguarding, and avoids technical claims they cannot verify.
- Maintenance
- Reconfirm choices at new events, update when platforms or family situations change, and honor deletion or withdrawal promptly.
- Accessibility
- Provide the map in large print, audio, symbols, preferred language, or supported decision-making formats without making one mode the default.
- Sustainability
- Use an existing trusted method and retain fewer intentional files instead of multiplying platforms, prints, and duplicate archives.
- Timing
- Complete before a major gathering and revisit briefly when children mature or new sharing tools enter family use.
