In this episode, Dr. Brandon breaks down why it’s time for parents to have honest, compassionate conversations with their kids about porn — because chances are, they’ve already seen it.
- 00:31 – Shocking Statistics on Kids and Porn: She shares eye-opening stats on just how young — and how often — kids are being exposed to porn, often in places parents least expect.
- 02:29 – The Impact of Porn on Adolescent Brains: Dr. Brandon explains how adolescent brains are rewired by what they see — and why porn can have a deeper impact than you think.
- 04:45 – Intentional vs. Accidental Exposure: She breaks down how much of this exposure is accidental — and why that matters even more than you might assume.
- 06:38 – Aggressive Content and Its Effects: Half the content kids see includes violence or pain, shaping harmful beliefs about what sex “should” look like.
- 09:03 – Parental Guidance and Taking Action: Dr. Brandon urges parents to stop avoiding the topic and gives a first step for starting the porn talk with compassion, not shame.
