#36: How to keep your kid safe from sexual content online (with Amy Lang)


Listen Later

I know nothing motivates you more than keeping your kid safe and healthy. Yet, so often, caring parents bury their heads in the sand when it comes to educating their kids about sexual wellness, and the effects are devastating. The uncomfortable truth is that no matter how 'good' your kid is, studies show the average age of exposure to pornography is 10 years old. So, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. 

You have no choice but to be proactive.

That's why this episode, with Sex Educator, Amy Lang, is so important.

Listen in to learn: 

> How to talk to your kid about sex in ways that keep them smart and feeling secure

> Exactly how to keep your kid safe from the damaging effects of pornography 

> The mindset you must adopt if you want them to have sexual wellness throughout their lives

People, places, things mentioned in the episode:

> A free guide I developed from this discussion: Sex Safety 101 

> Startling statistics: 3% of pornographic sites require proof of age, and 25% do not include adult content warnings, 10-12% of teens believe they are addicted to pornography

> Bark - internet and tech use monitoring

> Amy's upcoming book Spring of 2022: Sex Talk with Tweens: What to Say and How to Say It

> Amy's Books and Solutions center

> Amy's Additional Sex Education Books & Resources 

The one way you can guarantee that your kid will open up to you about important topics like sex is to continue to have a strong relationship through adolescence. But it can sometimes feel overwhelming knowing where to start.

I hope you use the tools inside this episode and do what you can to educate yourself and your kid on what it means to be sexually healthy. They deserve this gift, and you deserve this kind of peace of mind.
