In this timely and practical conversation, Jamie sits down with Kristen Jenson, founder of Defend Young Minds and author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, to talk about how parents and grandparents can protect kids from pornography in 2026 and beyond. Kristen shares why kids are being exposed earlier than most parents realize (sometimes as young as age three!) and how her books are designed to give families simple, age-appropriate language to help kids reject porn when they encounter it.

We discuss the growing dangers of social media, shared-server games like Roblox and Fortnite, Discord, and how AI is fueling porn and exploitation. Kristen also shares tangible next steps parents can take today, including how to talk to kids about red-flag behavior, why using proper anatomical language matters, and how girls are often exposed differently than boys. This episode is a must-listen for anyone raising or influencing kids in today's digital world.
