'What comes to mind when you hear the word 'porn'?'

My 13-yr-old has started watching porn but doesn't want to talk about it. He feels awkward when I try to discuss it with him as he says it's weird. What can I do? This is the question that I'm answering this week and I love this question because it give us a chance to really build a deeper connection with our kid(s). The answer comes from the Courage pillar inside the Evolved Family Method which helps us build evolved, communicating families. Now, I'm sure you probably have your own thoughts/judgments around porn. And there's no judgment around that. But how do we set those thoughts/judgments aside to have a useful convo with our 13-yr-old kid? We want to make sure that they're safe and have information that helps them to make healthy decisions. And let's be honest, porn is bad sex education. So, what is the "answer"? How do we help? Connection builds. So we need to connect with our kid. If you're asking how, it's by following their lead. Let him help us learn HOW to talk to him about this stuff. Listen to the episode to learn three strategies to help you do this. These strategies are ones you will use over and over again. Parenthood is a journey that requires support. It takes a village. So if you would like the support of a village to learn new skills, strategies and have support whilst implementing, join the Evolve School waitlist. Sign up at and I'll let you know as soon as the doors re-open. For now catch the strategies in this episode and be sure to let me know how you get on, if you use them. x Sarah
