Reflection and Comments
It’s more important than ever that our children know what to do when they see pornography. Why? because the average age for a child being exposed to it is about 10 and getting younger. A ‘preventive’ approach is the best way to teach our children about the dangers of pornography, in the context of our family. This book can help you know what to say and lays out a 5-step plan that kids can do when exposed to pornography or any other disturbing content. The steps are easy to follow.
The author also discusses the relationship between pornography and the brain. It shares that although we have a feelings part of the feelings, we also have a part of the brain that can take charge and say no to pornography.
