Highly recommend!! I have a 15 year old, 9 year old and a 7 year old who all have laptops, iPads and iPhones. I have set up parental controls, but I understand those only go so far. After learning from a morning radio podcast that the average age children are being exposed to porn for the first time is between 8-11, I realized the best thing to do was have a discussion. Without this book, I'm not exactly sure where I would've started. Let's face it-- it's not the most comfortable conversation you're going to have with your kids. So it helps to have something to refer to.
I really like the no-shame approach the author takes. It's so much more than just "don't watch or look at porn." It gave my children a real understanding about the brain and its natural response to pornography, how it can affect you if you look at it, and how to be prepared when you do come across it (since, let's face it... it's gonna happen at some point).
It says the recommended age is 8+, but I involved my 7 year old in our conversation and he fully understood.
Another thing I would like to point out, is that even if you haven't had the talk about the "birds & the bees", this book is still for you. It didn't raise any questions about sex, which I could appreciate since we're not quite ready to have that discussion with our younger ones. The reason why it doesn't go there, is because it doesn't go into detail about what is involved in pornagraphic videos- it simply describes pornography as "pictures, videos or even cartoons of people with little or no clothes on".
