Perfect for an uncomfortable issue that we can’t ignore
We got this book for our kid going into middle school. I’ve heard great things but I read through it myself before we present it just in case. Each chapter is short and has 2-3 questions and space for writing an answer at the end to encourage kids to retain the information. The book itself is an example of a pornography conversation between a mother and son then a father as well. I liked the format because it truly was a story but it wasn’t a talk where a child could get distracted as they usually do. It also talked a good bit about the brain and how it works. It did with without being too specific so it didn’t sound like a biology textbook. There is a glossary for unfamiliar words, a list of tips and a QR code taking you to more resources in the back of the book. This book is not religious in tone. It mentions a way a child can distract themself if they have already seen pornographic photos and think of one that they can sing songs, go for a walk or IF they follow a faith tradition to say a prayer. That is the only time any religion is mentioned. Another reviewer said it shames children and sex workers. The word sex is only used in the parent section to explain that this book is for children before they have even had the “sex talk”. There is continuous mentions to the kids who have seen them or being bad or broken. It doesn’t explain anything sexual in nature other than the individuals are showing parts covered by the bathing suit. It says the body is wonderful but they should not be photographed. That’s pretty cut and dry to me. They must not have read the book themselves. I recommend this and will be getting the good pictures bad pictures jr for younger kids as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic book! Even for a 7-year-old!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

First of all, I would like to thank the authors of providing a voice for the topic some of us choose not to acknowledge, or worse yet, think that porn is "normal". I can't rave about this book enough, not only is it formatted as a nice story that kids enjoy but it offers a ton of opportunities to engage with your child/children. My son is 7 and we were able to get through a large majority on the first day and finished it the next. The next day we ended with a nice little activity between my wife and I that involved taking a few pivotal quotes and the "CAN DO" acronym onto a printout and attached it somewhere near his desk where he can see it everyday. Every week or so we remind him of the CAN DO plan and he tends to remember a lot of it. I'm sure with a little more consistency, it will stick. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book to all parents.
Some areas of the US have even considered porn an epidemic. This is really true and unfortunately I see it too often from people around me, at work and extended friends and family. It's really a sad truth but a truth nonetheless. This is truly a revolutionary book by some courageous authors who weren't afraid to speak out out on the subject. Also, shameless plug here, but the authors closely work with an organization called, "Fight The New Drug". I recommend people to visit their site as well for those who are older, such as teenagers, young adults, as well as older adults who feel the struggling grip of porn. It's a very helpful site with a lot of helpful resources who are also leading a movement towards exposing the truths about porn, human sex trafficking, and more. They've also developed a program on their site called "Fortify" to really engage those with a stronger struggle and help in getting free. I hope this review helps others or at least will get you interested in wanting to learn more about this virus in our country and abroad.

5.0 out of 5 stars What my daughter learned from this book:
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
I just finished reading "Good Pictures Bad Pictures" with my 7-year-old daughter. At the end of each chapter, she wanted to dictate her notes to me and have me record them in the book. I thought you might get a kick out of her notes. As you can see, she missed the boat slightly in some areas, but some of her comments show impressive maturity and comprehension. Also, she is adorable.

“You can’t look at pornography. If someone offers to show you a picture, just ask what it’s about and if it’s a surprise just don’t look at it.

Addiction make you start lying to your family and friends. And you must not try things you could be addicted to once. And you can joke about things you might be addicted to like, ‘I’m addicted to Dippin’ Dots.’ Cuz Dippin’ Dots are good.

My feeling brain makes me thirsty and decide what to eat and also rewards me for what I do right. But if I start to do pornography my feeling brain might start to reward me for it. But if I’m smart enough to not feel rewarded then my feeling brain will make me feel bad for looking at pornography.

I learned to try to not get addicted to stuff like pornography or drinking or smoking or taking yummy pills even if I don’t need them. The more I use my thinking brain, the stronger it gets. Even if I’m about to look at pornography, my thinking brain says, “No!” If I’m doing my math homework my thinking brain gets stronger about pornography.

I learned to leave my thinking brain in charge and let my feeling brain help me know what I want to do unless I’m spoiled. If I want to run into the street, I don’t have to get there immediately. Say I just got home from “Color Me Mine” and I run across the street without stopping to think. I might get hit by a car, or, more luckily, almost hit by a car.

I learned not to take drugs. Drugs will probably make you get pictures of pornography and trick people into looking at them even if they don’t want to. Drugs can make you lie about whether something is pornography. If you’re watching your favorite movie, there might be some pornography in it.

When your brain starts looking at pornography, it starts to make its own kind of drug. After you finish pornography, you stop having the drug that your brain makes. After the drug stops, you feel pain. Some people take drugs only to feel better. Instead of doing drugs or pornography, do something you like. If you still feel unhappy DO NOT TAKE DRUGS. Just wait. Do not take drugs. Just like go outside and lay on the grass. I tried it once and it really helped.”

Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2024

This book is amazing for equipping young kids on what is ok and not ok in terms on pictures. While not explicitly using the word pornography ( though does define it on one page) it talk about what to do if you see/someone wants to take "bad pictures" and how to identify them. Highly recommend for teaching young kids (preschool/early elementary).

During these times of mesia exposure, YouRube and smartphones and tablets we must start very early telling our kids there are bad pictures and how they should deal with it. Parents (and grandparents/ caretakers), let’s not be naive (and ignorant) about what is out there.

Excellent book and concept. Rather than creating a character who your child learns from, the book puts you in a parent child situation and is effectively a replay of the conversation you could be having with your child. Really easy to transition over to ask their experience, what they think etc
It also has questions after each section which helps embed learning and are a good recap when returning to the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistische Hilfe, ohne dabei naiv oder beschämend zu sein
Reviewed in Germany on August 12, 2020
Verified Purchase
Das Buch zeigt anhand einer kleinen Geschichte ganz praktisch auf, wie wir mit Kindern Pornographie auf eine Altersgerechte Art thematisieren können.

Kinder sollen bevollmächtigt werden, selbst gute Entscheidungen zu treffen, anstatt druch Verbote und Beschämung dazu gebracht zu werden, sich von Pornographie fern zu halten - was ohnehin nicht möchlich ist.

Mich hat das Thema sehr beschäftigt, weil ich meinen Kindern den Umgang mit Pornographie gerne ersparen möchte, dies aber nicht in meiner Macht liegt. Dieses Buch zeigt einen realistischen Weg auf, Kinder in diesem schweren Bereich in die Selbstständigkeit- und Verantwortung zu führen, ohne dabei Illusionistisch oder Naiv zu sein.
