Encore: Parenting P*rnography

Everyone listening to this podcast knows someone who has been hurt by this content. So how do we parent it well? Parenting p*rnography well is scary, but it can be done with hope. We can build hedges around our tech and our families to help us raise healthy youth in a tech world.

SHOW NOTES

Greta Eskridge Quote:

“Just like we don’t show strangers our private parts, we don’t want to see other people’s private parts. So if we ever see those pictures or movies on a computer or a phone, or if someone shows them to us, we look away and then we go tell a safe grown up what we saw. You won’t be in trouble for seeing it. Talking about it is how we keep you safe.”, Greta Eskridge, @maandpamodern

The 4.5 Hedges Around our Family:

1. Time:

• What time?
• How often?
• How long?

2. Place:

• Not in room or meals
• What about car rides?
• Friends houses?
• School?
• At home but outside?

3. Content: What’s our standard. A good start:

• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should (1 Cor. 6:12)
• Choose lovely (Phil. 4:8)
• Look at the fruit (Gal. 5:22)

4a. Safety: Strangers

• Adults who want to be your friend
• People you don’t know
• People asking for personal information: location, name, age
• People asking to turn camera on or send images

4b. Safety: Pornography

• People not wearing clothes being unkind
• It’s unsafe for everyone
• You can always tell us and we can help
• It’s a lie: not real, not love, not God’s plan
