PORNOGRAPHY<\/h6>\n<p>Just as it\u2019s our responsibility to have the \u201csex talk\u201d with our children, in this day and age, having the \u201cpornography talk\u201d must be a given for parents everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the multitude of sexually provocative images and movies that are readily available on the internet is, to say the least, difficult.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I\u2019d estimate that not a week goes by that I don\u2019t hear about someone who is understandably worried about his or her child\u2019s interest in, or apparent exploration of, internet pornography.\u00a0 This has become a central issue in child development. \u2014 Steven Scholzman, MD<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfamily.com\/how-to-talk-to-kids-about-pornography-5104965\" target=\"_blank\"
