70% of boys and girls are exposed to porn!

I have to share this hard-hitting fact with you. By the age of 13, 70% of boys and girls have been exposed to porn. Some have stumbled on it by accident, some have been sent a link, and some are just curious. But you know, once they see a video like this, it affects their brain chemistry and changes it forever. Porn teaches our kids that intimacy is performance. It's not connection. It tells boys that aggression is normal. It tells girls that their value is in their body, and it is silently teaching children how they see love, respect, and relationships. This is very, very harmful. I'm not saying that your child will not ever watch porn. Yes, they will, but we need to talk to our children. We need to have honest conversations about this with our children, because if we don't, Google will teach our children what we don't don't want them to learn. So what we need to do is start conversations early. Don't shame them, don't scare them, just ask them something simple. Have you seen something online that has confused you, that has made you uncomfortable? Make sure you ask them what they are consuming and then tell them the truth. Tell them what they see is not real. Love is respect. Because if you stay silent, your child will keep watching it and will be confused about relationships, about love. So your child is going to watch these things, but when they watch it with your safety net, with your communication and connection being strong, they are less likely to be influenced, and they are more likely to see the real picture and have good relationships in life.
