Tips for watching these videos with your child
All of the videos are hosted on YouTube, with new videos constantly being created. Which means there are too many videos to embed on this page. Sorry!
Before watching a video with your child, make sure you first watch it by yourself. This way, you can ensure you are happy with the information it contains. Prepare yourself for any possible questions your child may ask.
And remember, no video is perfect. Be prepared to find some information that you disagree with.
For example, I watched a video about porn with my (then) 12 year old, and it started by telling us that it was normal to watch porn. We both looked at each other, and she asked if that meant that it was okay to watch porn and if there was something wrong with her because she wasn’t watching porn. So we had a chat about how it is natural to be curious about sex and that maybe porn isn’t the best way to learn about sex. UPDATE: I rewatched this video in 2024, and the statement saying it is normal to watch porn’ has now been removed.
So don’t forget to talk about your family values when watching these videos. It is the conversations themself that are invaluable. So try to see these videos as an opportunity to start a conversation.
