HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY

Just as it’s our responsibility to have the “sex talk” with our children, in this day and age, having the “pornography talk” must be a given for parents everywhere.

Discussing the multitude of sexually provocative images and movies that are readily available on the internet is, to say the least, difficult.  Nevertheless, I’d estimate that not a week goes by that I don’t hear about someone who is understandably worried about his or her child’s interest in, or apparent exploration of, internet pornography.  This has become a central issue in child development. — Steven Scholzman, MD
