I heard somebody say never tell your children when I was your age and you fill in the

blank because we were never the age our kids are with all the media and technology access they have.

It's not the same, it's just not.

How do you help them use wisdom and discernment and how do you guard them? Well I'm John Fuller with

Dr. Danny where to who heads up the focus on the family parenting

department and Danny it's amazing and shocking it's horrific what our kids are

exposed to today.

Oh yes, everywhere.

I mean, how do we get a handle on this?

It's tough. I mean, a recent survey from common sense media said that the average exposure for most kids

not just in general average exposure to pornography is 12 years old so most kids are

exposed to some type of thing pornography by 12 years old.

And then a subset of that was like 10 or younger,

about 15%.

And they also found that adolescents who watch violent pornography were almost six times more likely to be sexually aggressive in their dating years.

And recent studies have also been finding that excessive screen time is more likely to lead to binge eating or eating disorders in general

Disruptive behaviors and a new one is obsessive compulsive disorder type behaviors where they're seeing it

play out in different ways on the obsessive and compulsive behaviors and so we need to be very aware of what's happening with our kids on screens and

even just around with their friends or other people where they're receiving messages and media messages that are not only

sexual but violent derogatory misleading in the news and so we need to lean into this as parents.

There is so much here and we have lots of resources to help you in this realm of parenting.

It's ever-changing and increasingly difficult.
