Faith In Parents #143 | Growing Up: I have a valuable body
Ian Henderson helps us to navigate the internet, explaining that it is like a city; full of places to take our children, so much to see and do, but there are murky places where we would never leave our children to explore alone.
A recent report said that 10% of kids have seen inappropriate online images before the age of 9, rising to 27% by 13. Various studies say the average age for seeing those images for the 1st time is about 11 years old.
As parents we want to help them respond wisely when - not if - this situation arises.
Ian gives us the 3 T's and helps us think through the bigger picture, giving practical steps to follow.
