Author Greta Eskridge Equips Parents to Talk to Their Kids About Porn

Author, speaker, podcaster and mom of four, Greta Eskridge,releases It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: A Parent's Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity (Nelson Books, HarperCollins Christian Publishing) March 4, 2025. This must-have book equips parents to have age-appropriate, honest and hope-filled conversations about pornography with kids of any age so that they can help their children develop lifelong sexual integrity. In this book, available to pre-order now wherever books are sold, Eskridge helps parents to navigate those tough conversations and connect with their children to create a safe space for conversation while tackling the toughest topics with confidence.

Raising kids in the digital age comes with many challenges, but one of the biggest currently facing parents is how to navigate the prevalence and accessibility of pornography. Eskridge, mom of four and an unlikely porn fighter, knows that it's not easy for parents to start a frank conversation about porn. Her book is meant to help parents push through the awkwardness and help them overcome the fear of saying the "wrong" thing or worrying about how to answer uncomfortable questions.

From "A Letter to Parents" at the start of the book that offers a prayer of encouragement for the journey ahead, Eskridge says, "I am so glad you had the courage to pick this book up. I mean, who wants to read a book about porn? Almost no one. Most people shy away from the topic of pornography altogether - when it comes to their kids. But you showed up! And that speaks volumes about your willingness to step into hard places for the sake of protecting your kids."

Eskridge notes that avoidance is not the solution and offers practical tips, scripts for conversation and a topical resource guide in It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn. These things will help parents move from fear and frustration to hope and confidence that can support their children in a God-honoring life of sexual health and wholeness. Provided with support and encouragement based on Eskridge's own experience and personal education, as well as hard facts, current statistics and relevant scripture, readers will:

• Uncover biblical resources to help kids develop a healthy, God-honoring sexuality
• Learn principles and action steps to create open, honest dialogue on the prevalence of porn and the importance of sexual integrity
• Be equipped to lead an appropriate and honest talk for kids from preschool through high school

The user-friendly format is intentional in its approach to help parents address this critically important topic-and is divided into three parts as follows:

• PART ONE: Why You Need to Talk to Your Kids About Porn
• PART TWO: How to Talk to Your Kids About Porn
• PART THREE: The Hardest Questions

Addressing topics like parental controls, safe search practices, media literacy and tech use, Eskridge doesn't shy away from deeply consequential issues like child exploitation, sex trafficking and porn addiction. Each chapter also concludes with "It's Time To Reflect" offering thought-provoking and engaging questions for parents to consider and incorporate into their own plan.

"While we know our children will encounter pornography at some point, we pray they will have the strength to turn away when they do. There is no porn-proof bubble we can place them in, but we can give them the knowledge, tools and convictions to stand firm in the fight," shares Eskridge. "We don't want to send them into battle unequipped, so we train them, we talk to them, we support them, and we pray for them. We aren't parenting from a place of fear. Instead, we do all of this to give our kids, and their kids after them, a fighting chance against pornography. It is time to impact the future generations for good. It's time to parent with hope!"
