Hello Reader,

I know how busy and distracting life can be. But here’s the truth: Most parents underestimate the amount of sexual material their child is exposed to.

🍹 SIP: Understand the “naivete gap.” Study after study proves there’s a gap between what parents believe and what their child actually experiences. And there's a big gap when it comes to pornography (as attested by the British Board of Film Classification research report).

✅ TIP: Keep informed and understand your enemy so you can be a better defense for your child.

The porn industry has adapted throughout the decades–all to make tons of money. It’s best if you keep up.

TLDR: A call from Dr. Phil. A while back, I was invited to be on the Dr. Phil show. My role would have been to wag my finger ☝️😡 at a couple who were teachers by day and OnlyFans porn performers by night–earning them at least a million dollars. I was supposed to shout: “You’re setting a bad example for your students! You’re OnlyFans channel is harmful to their young minds!”

After careful consideration, I thanked the producer and respectfully declined. Contention is not our brand here at Defend Young Minds.

But, let’s talk about OnlyFans. Or Snapchat. Or Pornhub. Or xHamster. Or Instagram. Or thousands of other online venues where kids can see and share porn. The truth is they’re surrounded.

The good news is that parents who understand the battlefield can help their children survive the war.

😊 Now for the easy part. You don’t need to enroll in an expensive course. Just keep reading (or skimming!) my newsletter each week, and follow us on social media (Instagram and Facebook).

Drop by drop, you’ll stay informed about the battles your kids will face and are facing right now. You’ll get tips and tools to help your kids be more prepared to reject pornography wherever they see it.
