Sharenting has now become a global trend on social media. The phenomenon that we can see in Indonesia is that many social media users who are millennial parents share content about their children's activities on social media. Sharenting is also considered a place for millennial parents to build their digital reputation. This research aims to prove the influence of sharenting on millennial parents' self-presentation on social media. The right approach to help researchers answer this research question is through a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques use online surveys distributed through advertising features on the Facebook platform. After filtering the online questionnaire data, the total number of respondents taken was 518 respondents. All respondents met the respondent criteria, namely millennial parents (age range 24-39 years), regularly sharing their children's activities on social media, and active users of popular social media. The research hypothesis will be tested using regression tests, correlation tests, partial tests (t), and simultaneous tests (f). The measurement method uses a Likert scale. Meanwhile, the data's validity was tested using validity and reliability tests. The research results prove a significant influence of sharenting activities on the self-presentation of millennial parents on social media. The relationship between the two variables is also stated to be positive. Then, the strength of the two variable relationships enters into a strong correlation. From the calculation results, the higher the sharenting, the higher the self-presentation. In the context of self-presentation, millennial parents use sharenting to display positive aspects of their lives, especially related to family life and their role as modern parents. For millennial parents, self-presentation on social media can also affect their reputation in the online environment. By building a positive image as caring and involved parents, they can strengthen their social connections and expand their support network online.
