Protecting your children requires now more than ever vigilance and forethought–and preparation.

study conducted by the Barna Group found that: 

Only 10% of teens and 5% of young adults say their friends think viewing pornography is a bad thing.

This study also found that, “not only is porn more accessible in the digital context, but UNSOLICITED PORN has increased substantially as well.”  

They note that 48% of young adults come across porn at least once a week, and 50% of 12-17 year olds come across it once or twice per month or more–even when they are not seeking it out.

Our children don’t have to search for porn–because it is actively searching for them.

Children need to know what to DO if something happens–and here are TWO WAYS you can provide effective guidance.

#1–read Good Pictures, Bad Pictures with your kids.

If you are struggling with how to talk to your young children about pornography in an age-appropriate way, you are not alone

There are two books to help: Good Pictures, Bad Pictures and Good Pictures, Bad Pictures Jr

Good Pictures Bad Pictures is a read-aloud story about a mom and dad who explain what pornography is, why it’s dangerous, and how to reject it. This newly revised edition of the original bestseller makes that daunting discussion easy! 

The 5-point CAN DO Plan™ teaches kids exactly what to do to protect their young minds when they see pornography.

#2–upload Covenant Eyes to your devices

Covenant Eyes is the internet filter PLUS accountability software that our family uses for our computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

It is not just the “filtering” to protect the innocence of children, teens, and adults–so we don’t “come across” the things that others do–but the “accountability” of regular weekly reports to educate and form the moral consciences of our children. 

We receive these “accountability” reports for our children and the devices which have internet access (computers, tablets, phones, and so on), and this has made such a difference for us.
