Episode 400 - Talking to Your Kids About Pornography with Greta Eskridge
WARNING: This episode contains mature content related to pornography and may not be suitable for all listeners.
How do we begin having the difficult conversations around sexuality and pornography with our children? How can we teach our kids about sexual integrity in a way that fosters honesty and wholeness—without instilling shame?
For Greta Eskridge, writing about how to talk to kids about pornography wasn’t something she ever imagined. But after experiencing the devastating impact of pornography addiction in her own marriage—when her husband disclosed his addiction and a subsequent affair—Greta realized how vital it is for families to approach this topic with openness and grace. As she walked the road of healing, Greta began researching the reality of pornography—some studies show the average first exposure happens between the ages of 8 and 11.
Her newest book, It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: A Parent’s Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity, equips parents with practical wisdom for initiating these critical conversations in their homes.
In this episode, Davey sits down with Greta to discuss how to respond when a spouse reveals addiction or betrayal, when to start talking to your kids about sex, and how to equip them with a plan if they ever encounter pornography.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed about how to protect your children online or where to even begin, this conversation will give you the tools and confidence to take the first step.
“This is another way we train our kids for becoming adults. We have to teach them how to use technology wisely and safely.”
