S7 E4: It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn with Greta Eskridge

## Episode Summary Pornography is a conversation most parents would rather not have — but avoiding it does not protect our children. In this episode, Suzanne sits down with author and speaker Greta Eskridge to talk honestly about why parents need to begin conversations around sex and pornography earlier than many of us expect. Greta shares the personal journey that led her to this work, what she learned as she began understanding the impact of pornography, and why connection is one of the most important tools parents have. Together, Suzanne and Greta unpack how to start the conversation, what to do when a child has already been exposed, and how parents can respond without panic, shame, or fear. This is not about having one perfect "talk." It's about becoming a safe, informed parent who is willing to keep the conversation going. ## In This Episode → Why parents need to talk about pornography before exposure happens → When and how to begin age-appropriate conversations about sex and porn → Some of the most surprising realities parents need to understand → How to respond if your child tells you they've seen pornography — or you discover it yourself → Practical ways to protect children while preserving connection and trust → Encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or unsure where to begin ## Meet Greta Greta Eskridge is an author, speaker, wife, and second-generation homeschooling mom of four.
