Hello Reader,

If you’ve ever wondered why so many girls feel like they’re “not enough,” here’s a hard truth: sexualized media and porn are training girls to see themselves as objects to be judged.

The American Psychological Association warns that sexualized media harms girls’ mental health by pushing them to view their bodies as things to be consumed.

I raised two daughters in a world of increasing sexual objectification. It’s much worse today.

Which is why so many parents asked me to write a book just for girls! Good Pictures Bad Pictures Guide for Girls: How I Stay Safe, Smart & Confident will be released in mid-March. Stay tuned to be a part of my Launch Team!

We definitely need to counter the toxic, objectifying lies because they start destroying our girls’ confidence from such a young age.

In fact, researchers found girls begin absorbing these messages between ages 5 and 8.

Porn then doubles down, whispering lies like:

• Your value is how you look.
• Your job is to be “hot.”
• You get the most attention from sexualizing yourself.

No wonder early exposure is linked to lower self-esteem, body anxiety, and shame.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to let porn steal your daughter’s confidence.

Help your daughter recognize porn’s lies—and reject them—so she can build real confidence from the inside out.

Here are a few ways to get started:

• discuss what healthy love, boundaries, and respect look like,
• remind her that her core worth is not dependant on her appearance or performance, and
• teach her to recognize porn’s toxic scripts, and reject them, even if it feels awkward.

Let’s build our daughters’ confidence on truth, not the toxic messages of porn’s lies.

Warmly,

Kristen
