Talking with Kids about Pornography

 

 

Description:

The disturbing truth today is that young children are being exposed to hard-core porn through the internet before most parents realize they need to have a conversation about it.  By the time they are teens, most adolescents have viewed hard-core porn and can access it at will.  With what we now know from brain science about the addictive nature of pornography and adolescent imprinting, this is a newly essential conversation to have with our kids!

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• the scope of the problem – and what to do about it
• the 4 main ideas we and our kids need to understand about porn
• phrases and analogies you can use to guide the conversation in age-appropriate ways
