Children have the right to decide (or to get help deciding) what information about them is shared online. So, as a parent or caregiver, you should ask your child if they are okay with you posting that picture of them. Very young children can’t make an informed judgement on this yet, but you’ll be surprised by how quickly they are able to form an opinion. Children as young as 7 or 8 are perfectly capable of this. The older they get, the stronger their opinion will be. Always listen to their views, and don’t ignore them.
