Hello Reader, If you’re parenting a child with ADHD, you already know they think and react differently. When it comes to talking about pornography, their impulsivity and curiosity can make these conversations even more challenging. But one common mistake could actually make things worse—increasing vulnerability instead of protecting your child. In my latest article, The #1 Mistake Parents Make When Warning Their ADHD Child About Porn, I reveal: You don’t have to be the perfect parent—just a prepared one.
Kindly, Kristen P.S. Did you know 15% of kids 10 and under have already seen porn? That’s why I always say to talk to your kids about it as soon as they’re old enough to hold a device. Why start so young? Because sadly, it’s not a question of if your child will see porn—it’s when. Amazon #1 bestseller Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr.: A Simple Plan to Protect Young Minds makes this conversation easy and age-appropriate. With gentle messaging, fun illustrations, and the Turn, Run & Tell plan, this book empowers kids with five essential safety rules. Your child’s first exposure to porn shouldn’t be their first lesson about it. It’s never too early—or too late—to start the conversation.
