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.

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.
