How to Talk to Your Kids About Porn

Today we’ve got the author of Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, Kristen A. Jensen, here with us to help us navigate how to talk to your kids about porn and protect them. Stacy and Kristen discuss how parents can proactively prepare children to recognize and reject pornography in our digital world. Listen in to be equipped to start the conversation with your kids.

Key points:

* Start conversations about pornography as soon as children access the internet, even at ages 2-3.

* Talking with kids about porn must include 3 key parts: defining, warning and making a plan

* Understand the ways pornography can lead to addiction, increase vulnerability to abuse, and distort healthy views of relationships.

* Use age-appropriate resources: books and tools make these difficult conversations easier and provide structured language for you to use
