If you don't think that marketing to kids and concerns about body image aren't having an impact on children when they are of elementary school age, think again. Thanks to kids using smartphones and gaining access to tiktok and youtube influencers, even pre-pubescent girls are concerned about the effects of aging on their skin. Consequently, many are spending large amounts of their parents' money and huge amounts of time on high-end skin care products and routines including moisturizers, masks, mists, and cleansers. It's gotten to the point that this is what a growing number of our pre-teen girls are asking for on their birthday gift lists. We should be concerned about their susceptibility to marketing and preer pressure, the promotion of vanity, and the resulting cost both financially and in terms of stress and anxiety. But we also need to be concerned about the growing body of evidence showing that these things are causing short and long term damage, including burns, rashes, and other allergic reactions.

If I'm totally honest, the idea of talking to my kids about sex isn't the most appealing. But as a Christian parent, it is important that my kids are blessed with  a biblical vision for sex and sexuality. If I neglect this responsibility it may be the case that their thinking is informed by the world.Today we are going to be talking with Garrett Kell, father of seven, pastor of Del Ray Baptist Church and author of the book Pure in Heart about how to talk to our kids about these sensitive subjects. We are going to talk through three general areas: how to first introduce the concept of human sexuality and baby making with elementary age kids, how to shepherd kids in purity as they reach puberty and how to help kids think biblically about the sexual confusion they might encounter among kids of their own ages. Below are some books for kids that Garrett recommends:God Made Me SeriesThe Story of MeThe Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical SexualityGood Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today's Young Kids

In this episode of the Pooch Parenting Podcast, we're diving into a topic that many parents face: what to do when your toddler or young child is too rough with the family dog.Maybe you've caught your little one pulling the dog's tail, giving overly enthusiastic hugs, or even climbing on them like they're a jungle gym. You love both your child and your dog, but you're worried about how these interactions might affect their safety and their bond.The good news is, rough behavior is a common phase in childhood, and with the right strategies, you can help your child learn to interact with your dog in a gentle, safe, and positive way. In this episode, we'll explore why this happens, how to set your child and dog up for success, and what to do when things get a little too rough.So, whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just looking for tips to make life smoother for your family, you're in the right place.Why Rough Behavior HappensCuriosity and lack of impulse control are normal developmental behaviors in toddlers and young childrenKids and parents can misunderstand dog body language and can think this type of behavior is acceptable.Examples of typical rough behaviors: pulling tails, climbing on the dog, hugging too tightly, etc.Why Rough Handling of Dogs Is a ProblemPotential risks: stress for the dog, fear, growling, or even biting.Rough handling can damage the child-dog bond over time.Many parents (and kids, of course) miss common dog stress signals (ie, lip licking, yawning, avoiding the child).Setting Toddlers and Young Kids Up for Success Around DogsSupervision: Always be paying attention when dogs and kids are in the same space and when they are interacting with each other. Separation: Use barriers like baby gates or playpens when supervision isn't possible.Safe Spaces: Teach children that the dog's bed or crate is off-limits. If the dog is on the sofa or resting anywhere, they should be left alone, as if surrounded by hot lava.Teaching Toddlers and Young Kids to be Gentle with DogsAge-appropriate ways to teach children how to interact with dogs gently. Modeling soft petting.Using stuffed animals to practice gentle touch.Role-playing with the child.Read some of my favorite books with your toddlers, including: Tails are Not for Pulling, Hands are Not for Hitting and Love Me Gently.Clear and consistent rules (e.g., no hugging or climbing on the dog).Managing Expectations for ParentsSetting realistic boundaries for what the dog can tolerate based on its temperament and age.Avoid placing the dog in situations where rough handling might happen.Strengthening the Child-Dog BondActivities where kids can positively engage with the dog under supervision (e.g., training tricks, feeding, or tossing a toy).Reinforcing good beThank you for listening!

This is the annual episode where Mel and I go through our fishing goals from the past year and talk about what we have in store for the upcoming year. In this episode, we switched things up a bit. As a new mom, Mel didn't have as much time as she'd hoped to get out on the water, so in place of some of the goals she was not able to finish, she talked me through what it was like taking an infant fishing and what she anticipates for the upcoming year fishing with a toddler. I went through my goals as usual and set some new ones for 2025. Waypoint TV Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chapter 1 What's Good Pictures Bad Pictures by Kristen A. Jenson"Good Pictures Bad Pictures" by Kristen A. Jenson is a children's book designed to help young readers understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate content they may encounter online. The story follows a young girl named "Anna" who learns from her parents how to recognize and avoid harmful images and videos. Through a simple and engaging narrative, the book emphasizes the importance of open communication between children and parents about internet safety. It encourages kids to seek help and talk about anything they find confusing or upsetting on screen. The book serves as a crucial educational tool for empowering children to navigate the digital world with confidence and awareness.Chapter 2 Good Pictures Bad Pictures by Kristen A. Jenson Summary"Good Pictures Bad Pictures" by Kristen A. Jenson is a children's book designed to help parents educate their children about pornography and the importance of internet safety. The book aims to provide a framework for discussing the difference between appropriate (good) and inappropriate (bad) images in a way that is age-appropriate and understandable for young readers. Summary:The narrative follows a child who is taught by their parents about the concept of good and bad pictures. "Good pictures" are depicted as images that make the child feel safe, happy, and comfortable, such as family photos, nature scenes, and illustrations from books. On the other hand, "bad pictures" are images that can cause feelings of confusion, fear, or discomfort, often portraying inappropriate or sexual content.The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing these images and encourages children to share their feelings and experiences with their parents. Jenson provides practical advice for children on how to handle situations when they encounter bad pictures, such as covering their eyes, walking away, and telling a trusted adult. Additionally, the author stresses the value of developing a strong moral compass and understanding boundaries. The underlying message is to empower children to make safe choices and utilize the tools available to them when faced with potential exposure to harmful content.By addressing the topic gently and directly, "Good Pictures Bad Pictures" serves as a resource for families to foster open communication about difficult subjects and guide children toward safe internet usage.Chapter 3 Good Pictures Bad Pictures AuthorKristen A. Jenson is the author of the book "Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Talking to Our Kids About Tasteful Pictures" which was first published in 2013. The book aims to help parents educate their children about internet dangers, particularly regarding pornography and explicit content, using age-appropriate language and concepts.In addition to the original book, Jenson has written a follow-up called "Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today's Young Kids" released in 2017. This revised edition extends the discussions from the original book, providing parents and educators with additional tools to combat the prevalence of explicit material on the internet.Another notable title from Kristen A. Jenson is "Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr.: A Simple Guide to Child Safety in a Digital World," published in 2019. This version is tailored for younger children, making the conversations about online safety accessible even to preschoolers.In terms of editions and perceived impact, many consider "Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today's Young Kids" (2017) to be one of her best works because it provides updated guidance and practical advice based on the ever-evolving digital landscape. It builds on the foundation laid in the original book while offering more comprehensive strategies for parents.Chapter 4 Good Pictures Bad Pictures Meaning & ThemeGood Pictures Bad...

Tara Moni joins us today on the podcast! She had 3 boys under 2 (now 3 under 3). When her first son was 18 months, she welcomed identical twin boys into her family. She's the founder of La Maregold, a resort-wear brand and a content creator. We dive into the unglamorous truths of what ‘doing it all' actually means (spoiler alert, it's not possible). Tara is unapologetically herself which is so refreshing, and shares authentically about the behind the scenes village that allows her to work, have a social life and make time for her husband/friends, all while having 3 young kids. As a girly girl living with 3 boys and her husband, Tara continues to foster her femininity and creativity through her love for fashion. Tara shares her journey from running partnerships at SomethingNavy to venturing out on her own / starting her dream brand post kids - letting go of resistance to her changing identity and instead embracing it. We discuss how she skipped the transition from 1-2 and went directly from 1-3 kids, and how that impacted her identity, her relationship dynamic and her parenting styles. And of course, we get you some great styling tips on how to dress during pregnancy and postpartum from the queen herself - hint: effortless and affordable sets!

Sexual sin remains one of the most prolific yet overlooked issues within the Christian community. Despite the prevalence of church teachings on purity and righteousness, hidden struggles with sexual sin abound. Despite Jesus' promise of freedom in Scripture, pornography, illicit romantic novels and television shows, and sexual indiscretions continue to keep many believers in bondage. Statistics reveal a startling reality: 50% of American Christians ages 18 to 30 actively seek out porn annually. 68% of churchgoing men regularly view pornography. 20% of practicing Christians ages 18 to 30 actively seek out porn weekly. 15% of Christian women say that they watch porn at least monthly. Only 13% of Christian women say that they never watch porn. 20 % of youth pastors currently struggles w/ porn use. 68% of churchgoing men regularly view porn. 50% of pastors regularly view porn. 76% of Christians age 18 to 24 actively and regularly spend time searching porn sites. The average age kids see porn is 11. 95% of kids see porn by 14 .

Lina  sheds light on how purity culture's unrealistic expectations can lead to a dangerous form of idolatry, causing individuals to ignore deeper issues and seek fulfillment through temporary distractions. Key Highlights: Purity Culture's Impact: Lina unpacks how purity culture sets unrealistic expectations about marriage and intimacy, fostering a performance-based relationship with God. The Danger of Idolatry: Learn why idolizing a perfect life leads many to overlook deeper issues and lean on temporary distractions like TV, movies, and frivolous novels. Dealing with Hidden Sins: Lina emphasizes the necessity of addressing hidden sins openly and highlights the ease of falling into habits like consuming erotic content. Women like Lina have particularly struggled with pornographic novels and desire to be set free. The Importance of Safe Conversations: Lina shares her personal experiences, including the emotional hurt she faced within the church, and underscores the need for transparent discussions in our homes and communities. Sexual Sin in the Church: Catherine and Lina explore the alarming statistics on porn addiction among Christians, including pastors, and the urgent need for transparency.

Body image and and neutrality is something I didn't really learn about until I was an adult, after struggling for years. Especially after having my own kids I began to wonder, how do we do better for our kids so that they don't have to struggle with the same body image issues like most of us did as kids? On this weeks episode we dive into the topic and address some important questions! How can we talk to our kids about their body early on & in their teens to promote body neutrality? What are things we should avoid doing or saying to nurture body positivity in our daughters? Our kids are growing up surrounded by social media and are consuming damaging content for their views on themselves and their body. How can we help them avoid the comparison cycle of unrealistic body image on the internet? How can we help empower our daughters to stand up for themselves when their body is being negatively talked about by classmates, friends, family, or strangers? What are signs that we should be aware of that may indicate our child is struggling with an eating disorder?
