In even the most s*x positive families, talking particularly about po*******hy can be tricky at best. In this episode we continue our conversation with Amy Lang (www.birdsandbeesandkids.com), about how to talk to your children about this complicated subject.
It’s important for parents to acknowledge that in today’s culture, it is unrealistic to assume your children will never see po*******hy. The average age at which most children are exposed to p**n is 9 years. In fact even 7-8 year olds have also probably seen it, but just aren’t talking about it.
As uncomfortable as these statistics may be, it does no good to stick your head in the sand. The only way to deal with it is to develop a relationship based on honest communication. If you haven't already, you need to start talking to them about s*x and s*xuality so that they will talk to you about it.
We’ll discuss ways to talk to little kids about it, as well as tweens and teens. We’ll also provide other resources including book recommendations, what to do if you discover your child is watching p**n and how to monitor and filter for p**n on your child’s devices.
