Honest Talk: How to Protect Your Kids From Pornography + How to Talk About It
I recently interviewed Greta Eskridge about something she is passionate about: putting systems into place to protect kids against pornography and how to talk to them about it. Selfishly, I asked her onto the show because this is a topic that I find hard to talk to my kids about–where does a parent even begin?
On the difficult topics, it can be tempting to skim over them, not teaching the hard lessons that are hard to talk about. Who wants to have a discussion about pornography with their teen guys? Not me! But after my conversation with Greta, I felt so much more confident about talking with my kids about pornography. Since gleaning Greta’s tips and wisdom, my husband and I have been able to naturally converse with our kids about this topic without feeling awkward or weird.
This is a must-listen for all parents out there! Keep scrolling to listen to the conversation and check out all the resources Greta provides.
