Summary

When my friend, Greta Eskridge, told me she was working on a book called, “It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids about P*rn”, I told her I’d be her biggest fan. I’ve been waiting for someone I trust to cover this topic, and wow – Greta did an outstanding job! Today on the podcast Greta gives us a sneak peek into her story, and offers practical advice from the work she has done on this topic. In this conversation, Greta tells us the difficult story of how she became an “unexpected p*rn fighter”, and what her journey has taught her. We talk about the complexity of this issue, and Greta offers advice to parents of young and older children. We talk about the importance of computer filters, but also the false confidence they can provide. And I share how I have passed the accountability baton on to my older sons, while still checking in on them regularly. This is powerful conversation I hope EVERY parent can tune into. Please spread the word to your friends about it, and head over to show notes for links to Greta’s amazing new book, and everything else we talked about! http://www.monicaswanson.com/greta-talks Find all show notes: www.monicaswanson.com/podcast Looking for new science or math homeschool curriculum?
