Kristen Jenson, founder of Defend Young Minds and author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures , talks with Sissy and David about why parents need to start conversations about pornography early—ideally as soon as kids have access to screens. She explains how porn often finds kids through friends’ devices, social media, apps, and even AI, and why proactive, calm conversations help build an “internal filter” that tech safeguards alone can’t provide. Kristen also addresses the link between pornography, addiction, and rising child-on-child harmful behavior, and offers practical steps for parents if exposure happens: stay calm, make a plan, keep talking, and remember that porn is the problem—not your child.

Get the show notes here: https://lauriechristine.com/how-to-talk-to-your-kids-about-pornography/ Pornography. It’s not a fun topic to discuss, but it’s a very important conversation to have with our boys. (And not just an isolated discussion, but an ongoing conversation!) The average age that kids are exposed to pornography is between the ages of 8-10. It’s literally everywhere. Especially when younger and younger kids have unlimited access to cell phones, ipads, and other devices. Even if you’ve been super careful to limit your child’s internet access, chances are they have a friend at school, on the bus, in the neighborhood and yes, even at church, who might expose them to pornography. Pornography is a world-wide pandemic that has been normalized by our society. I don’t think many Christians truly realize the danger of pornography. This is a quote that I found from an article on NPR that I think describes this pandemic very well: “Imagine a drug so powerful it can destroy a family simply by distorting a man’s perception of his wife. Picture an addiction so lethal it has the potential to render an entire generation incapable of forming lasting marriages and so widespread that it produces more annual revenue … than all of the leading technology companies combined.” So, what can we do about this drug that is destroying the very foundation of our society? How can we protect our children and teach them to value God’s design for marriage? We have a special guest on the show to help us answer these questions. Kristen Jenson is the founder of Defend Young Minds and the #1 bestselling author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, a read-aloud book to teach young children how to reject pornography. Her trusted resources and content, including the Brain Defense Digital Safety curriculum, have helped millions all over the world to defend children from all forms of sexual exploitation.

Welcome to episode #112! In this episode, Matt and Braden talk to the author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures and founder of Defend Young Minds, Kristen Jenson about how to talk to our children about porn in age appropriate ways. What do I tell my children about porn? Kristen has a three-step outline to help you know how to talk to your young children about porn. Definition Warning Plan Defining porn helps kids recognize porn in all of the diverse ways that porn is produced (cartoon, real life, anime, inappropriate visuals with clothes on, etc). Warning kids about the dangers of porn and why to turn away is crucial because if they don't know what harms they can incur from pornography, the enticement of it will take over and they'll find ways to search it out. When kids have a plan in place that they've communicated with an adult beforehand, it helps them know exactly what to do when they see porn. Having a plan eliminates room for shame because it gets things in the open and the child feels great that he/she did the right thing. When should I talk to my children about porn? Talking about porn is always done in an age appropriate way. Kristen has multiple resources and book on how to talk to our kids about sex and our bodies in the preschool years. As adults, we understand to a greater degree what pornography is, but we aren't going to tell our young kids information they can't handle. We have to start young, but always by doing it in an age appropriate way. Being proactive will set our kids up for success! How to protect your child with devices Your child needs an internal filter. Talking to them with open communication with some regularity is going to be the best way to protect your children from porn. This will establish a warm bond, which is crucial in order for them to be open with you. When you're talking about devices, let them use your device. Don't give them their own. If it's their own, they have control, but if it's yours, you can set passwords and check on it at any time. When giving them access to a device, here are three things to consider: Establish guidelines Monitor the child Have consequences or give rewards based on their choices Share this with your friends Who do you know that can benefit from this podcast and other episodes coming in the future?
