Summary
Today we’re joined by author Greta Eskridge, who shines a light on how to approach a dark topic with our kids: pornography. The stats tell us it’s not a matter of if our kids will be exposed to porn, but when. Luckily equipping our kids doesn’t have to be as scary as we think. Greta shares practical language for age-appropriate, hope-filled conversations and makes a strong case for moms to lead the way. We hope this episode gives you the confidence to talk with your kids about porn so they can stay safe in our digital world and also grow into sexually whole adults.
