Greetings! A study in the journal Pediatrics found that 55% of teens who were exposed to a lot of sexual material in movies, music and the Internet had intercourse by the age of 16. Compare that with only 6% of teens having sex who rarely saw such imagery in the media. I don’t believe young teens are ready to put sexual content from the media into perspective. If you don’t think it makes a difference, you’re not opening your eyes.

It does makes a difference when you limit your kids’ exposure to sexual content from the media—a big difference. TVs and computers in their room at an early age might be what a lot of other parents are doing, but they are also decisions that can have a permanent impact on your child’s life.

Make the right choice.

Warmly,
