Globe Article: Resilience to porn

May 21, 2021

I was going to write about something else this week, until this article came across my desk. Thanks for sending it via snail mail dad.


Food for thought when we know our ADHD kids are prone to addiction of all kind. Sex addiction, Internet addiction, porn addiction. My twelve year old boy still looks away and says, "eeeew" when there is a kiss in a movie. But he also has my wife's old laptop in his room most of the time. I think it's time for "The Talk." And, porn clearly needs to be part of it.

A reminder: Almost all addictive and risky behavior by ADHD kids starts earlier than we think it should. As parents, we should almost always err on the side of bringing those sensitive topics up on the early side, rather than the late side.
