This week we are talking to Kristen Jenson. Kristen is the author of the Good Pictures Bad Pictures series of read-aloud books including the best-selling Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today’s Young Kids. She is the founder of ProtectYoungMinds.org, a website dedicated to helping parents empower their kids to reject pornography. Recently, she was invited to testify before the Washington State Senate Law and Justice Committee on the public health crisis of pornography. In this episode we address the important topic of educating our kids about pornography and giving them the important tools to deal with it when they find it. Here is what we talked about:
