Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Dr. Supreet explains it is crucial for parents to engage in open and honest conversations with their teenagers about pornography, consent, and healthy sexual relationships. Creating a safe space for dialogue can help address any misconceptions and provide guidance.

Dr. Supreet and Elaine agree parents and caregivers should seek out educational resources and tools to facilitate discussions about pornography and its impact.

Dr. Supreet and Elaine explain it's essential to understand that curiosity about sexuality and exposure to explicit content does not make teenagers "bad kids." Parents should refrain from shaming or judgment and instead focus on guiding them towards healthy choices and understanding.
