YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO TALK

You don't know how to start

EVERY CHILD deserves FAIR WARNING about the dangerous content they could encounter through any digital device. As their parent, you are the best person to provide them with the SAFEGUARDING INFORMATION they need.

INTRODUCING

a relational approach to safeguarding children online

Giving you the tools to talk openly and honestly in six easy-to-follow lessons.

YOUR CHILD HAS BIG QUESTIONS

children need honest answers

  • exposure happens early

    More than 50% of children will be exposed to pornography before their 13th birthday. Sadly, 75% of parents believe it's not their kid.

  • porn sneaks past filters

    It is estimated that 80% of a child's first-time exposure to pornography occurs at home where we think children are most protected.

  • children keep dangerous secrets

    Children are increasingly targeted and can be groomed by online predators to send sexually explicit images and videos—most victims are girls, 11-13 years old.

I GET IT!

This is a tricky topic. It's normal to feel anxious or worried. We all worry we will say or do the wrong thing. But with this framework EVERY parent can begin healthy conversations. Tell me if you can relate?

  • You want to prepare a child with protective information.

  • You feel stuck on how to approach sensitive topics in age-appropriate ways.

  • You want your child to know you’re willing to talk about anything.

  • You want to help build your child’s confidence and self-esteem.

  • You’ve already brought up the topic of pornography but wished it had gone smoother.

  • You want to strengthen your relationship with your child.

Every minute of this six-lesson course is full of wisdom. I love how Marilyn asks parents to uncover their family’s core values.

DID YOU KNOW?

Relying on tech solutions alone is not enough to protect children from the harms of pornography.

Quality filters, controls, and monitoring apps can be used as parenting supports. But they are not an all-in-one solution. There will always be gaps in the fence. Your relationship combined with honest communication is truly the best firewall you can implement to prepare your kids against dangerous online content.

Talking about porn can feel really intimidating for parents. This course goes a long way in building a framework for how to have the conversation.
