Dr Weston is joined by clinical psychologist and researcher, Dr Elly Hanson, for a discussion on this crucial topic. Scheduled originally to coincide with Internet Safety Day, this discussion will address how porn can affect children and what parents, carers and school staff need to do about it.
In this podcast, Dr Weston talks with Dr Fiona Vera-Gray about the need for change in the discourse surrounding women and girls’ everyday experiences of sexual harassment. They discuss early teenage romantic relationships, the impact of pornography and how parents can help both girls and boys to become agents of change.
In this podcast, Dr Weston talks to criminologist, Dr Elena Martellozzo, about her research into young people’s feelings about, and experiences of, online pornography. They discuss how parents should approach conversations with their children about pornography and relationships, and also what Dr Martellozzo’s research found that young people would like to learn and talk about during sex education at school. They also explore the issue of online safety and how sex offenders operate in the online world.
Dr Weston takes you through some of the most important evidence-based facts parents need to know about young people’s use of pornography.
In this podcast, Dr Weston talks to Professor Clarissa Smith about concerns parents have about their teens accessing pornography and they discuss ways to promote healthy sexual development in our young people.
These days, although we might find it tricky, we have to think about our children becoming ‘porn-resilient’. This necessitates a look at what is going on out there! We know that children are encountering porn at a young age due to access to digital technology, but do they have the skill set to navigate material they might come across accidentally, or otherwise?
This rather detailed document summarises some of the most important research evidence about young people’s use of pornography. In addition to making sure you are aware of what teens might be accessing, it also helps parents think about how to approach conversations that might be tricky!
