Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-proofing Today's Young Kids (2nd edition)

It feels like a daunting task… Talking to kids about the dangers of pornography is important in this digital age, but finding the words (and the confidence!) can be hard. This newly revised bestseller helps parents approach the topic in a comfortable, easy way that opens the lines of communication and cuts through any awkwardness. Chapters are designed to be read together with “Let’s Talk” discussion questions at the end of each, and soft watercolor pictures throughout. The text maintains a child’s innocence, treading carefully in its definition of pornography–although there’s a more advanced definition in the back of the book, should parents choose to use it. The focus is on the medical side of things, explaining what happens in the brain and how pornography is a toxic and highly addictive drug. The best part is that kids are equipped and trained to protect themselves if they do happen upon pornography. The C.A.N.D.O solution is a tool, empowering them with easy steps they’ll remember, especially as the book is re-read periodically (recommended). This book is written by doctors and scientists and isn’t religious, so Christian families may want to supplement with material explaining how pornography abuses a good gift that God gave and how kids can embrace biblical truth.
