What happens when teens stumble upon pornography? This episode of Mental Health Matters tackles this pressing issue with hosts Liz Lange, Jeremiah, and Selina Woodruff. They dive into the alarming statistics showing that many kids encounter porn by age 12, often by accident. The discussion highlights the importance of preparing parents to respond calmly and empathetically when their children disclose such exposure.
Instead of panic, the focus is on creating a safe space for open conversations about sexuality and the internet's dangers. The episode also touches on the broader parenting challenges, like picky eating and societal pressures, offering a light-hearted moment with Liz's anecdote about goldfish crackers. With a mix of humour and sincerity, the hosts stress that while you can't shield kids from everything, you can equip them with the tools to navigate these situations.
The key is fostering ongoing dialogue and understanding, rather than resorting to shame or punishment. The hosts provide practical advice on setting boundaries without making them feel like punishments, suggesting collaborative approaches to help children feel involved in the decision-making process. Whether you're a parent grappling with this issue or just curious about modern parenting dynamics, this episode offers a compassionate look at how to support kids in today's digital age.
