Conversation Summary
Stats tell us, the average age a person is exposed to pornography is 10 years old. More specifically, the consistent range of exposure is between 9 and 12 years old.
Most people, and most parents, are aware of that statistic. Most parents even believe those statistics. But too many parents think their children are the exception. It’s as though admitting our children could be at risk means admitting we’re bad parents. But that’s not true.
Parents and youth pastors need help. And that’s okay!
Kristen Jenson is the author of the best-selling Good Pictures Bad Pictures series of read-aloud books. With over 150,000 copies sold worldwide in 7 languages, her books are a valuable resource to help children develop an internal filter against inappropriate content.
Kristen joins us to discuss what children are facing and how we can support and equip them.
