Smart Parenting | Safeguarding your kids from Porn | The Happy Hour With Jamie Ivey

The Happy Hour With Jamie Ivey: This month’s bonus series is on a topic that can tend to be very uncomfortable to talk about. But this is a good uncomfortable. Pornography is a subject that affects all of us in one way or another and it’s important to have these conversations. The average age of kids who view pornography for the first time is 9 years old. As a parent you may read that statistic and feel completely discouraged or overwhelmed, but you’re not alone! On today’s show Chris McKenna shares ways we can help protect our kids from the weapons of the internet.
Chris McKenna is a former middle school youth director, and author of multiple resources for families and churches. His 2019 US Senate testimony was the catalyst for new federal and state online child protection legislation and earned Protect Young Eyes (PYE) the Dignity Defense Alert Award in 2020. The PYE team performs hundreds of presentations at schools, churches, and nonprofits, receives over a million visits to their popular website annually, and was featured in the Childhood 2.0 movie
I hope in this series you gain a wealth of resources to help you, however this topic affects you. Whether you’re someone who has struggled with pornography and addiction, or you are a spouse or partner who is dealing with the betrayal of such addiction, we encourage you to check out the links from the show to find support, healing, and ultimately freedom.

This is a good convo. The best thing to do is honestly don't use porn as the parent. I remember growing up and friends' dads were showing us porn for fun, watching porn in front of us, it was just around like it was no big deal. The book The Porn Guru by Harper Daniels is a good short read if anyone needs help stopping because it's a powerful addiction.

Really????
That is sooo sad. I'm 47. I grew up in a generation where kids didn't have phones/IPADS. None of my friends were exposed to porn.
Its also super simple to put parental safeguards on your computer. They truly do work. I have them on mine and I don't even have a problem with porn.
